Amaranth puffs are made by applying heat and pressure to organic whole amaranth grain. Amaranth is naturally free from gluten and these puffs have a mild, toasted flavour. They add a delightful crunch to cereals, snacks and baking. They are also a nutritious addition to a stuffing mixture. Amaranth was a dietary staple of the pre-Columbian Aztec empire. This ancient crop was "lost" for hundreds of years, and only since the 1960s, following its rediscovery, has it been grown commercially from wild varieties found. Amaranth seed is an extremely nutritious grain. No GMO. Preservative free.
