About Whole grain amaranth flour

Whole-grain amaranth flour is milled from the small seeds of amaranth with their outer layers retained. It is generally fine and pale beige, sometimes with darker flecks, and has a distinctive earthy, mildly nutty flavour.

It is used in baking, pancakes, porridges, and as a component of flour mixtures. Amaranth flour does not behave identically to wheat flour in doughs, and products vary in fineness and milling. This page refers to flour, not intact amaranth seeds or popped amaranth.
