PREPARATION

• Organic amaranth grain can be eaten toasted, boiled, puffed, in flour form or sprouted, and can be used to prepare both sweet and savory recipes.
• It emits a strong smell when cooked and has a pronounced flavor, so some people prefer to mix it with other cereals or legumes to soften it.
• To cook it, a ratio of two and a half cups of water per one cup of seeds is needed, although this is only approximate, as it fluctuates with the variety.
• It is important to keep the pot covered during cooking, once the water is absorbed, remove it from the heat and let it rest for ten minutes.
