    Amaranth, from a Greek word meaning 'never-fading flower', was a staple in the diet of the ancient Aztecs who believed it had supernatural powers. In India, it's known as 'rajeera' (the King's grain).

    Certified Organic - Amaranth Whole Grain (500g) by Ceres Organics 


     
    Amaranth was a dietary staple of the pre-Columbian Aztec empire, who believed it had supernatural powers and incorporated it into their religious ceremonies. This ancient crop was "lost" for hundreds of years, and only since the Sixties, following its rediscovery, has it been grown commercially from wild varieties.

    How to enjoy:
    To cook, simmer 1 cup of amaranth in 2 1/2 cups of water for 18-25 minutes or until tender.
    To enhance the flavour, add fresh herbs or ginger root or use half measures of water and stock or apple juice.

    Ingredients: Certified Organic Amaranth Grain.

    Store: In an airtight container in a cool, dry, dark cupboard.

    Origin: Packed in New Zealand from South American grains
    Certification: BioGro.
