Amarante
Amarante is the French name for amaranth, but it does not specify whether the ingredient is edible leaves, seeds, or another amaranth product.
About Amarante
Amarante is the French name for amaranth, a group of plants whose leaves and small grain-like seeds are used as food. The word alone does not establish whether a catalogue item is the leafy vegetable, the seed, or another amaranth product. Both leaves and seeds have culinary uses, but they differ in appearance, texture, flavour, and preparation.
Because the name does not identify the edible part or form, a specific ingredient-page description would risk conflating distinct foods. Nutrition comparisons likewise depend on whether the item is leaves, seeds, or a processed product.
