The best way to enjoy organic amaranth seeds

Amaranth seeds are cooked for 20 to 30 minutes in twice the volume of water. The slightly sticky texture is not to everyone’s taste, so you can put them in gratins, cakes, custards…

You can also heat the very small seeds in a covered frying pan to make popcorn.

Flour can replace 25% of the wheat flour in cakes and give them softness. When used with other flours (rice, corn), it can be used to make gluten-free breads and biscuits.

As for flakes, they are used to prepare porridge and muesli.
