About Whole grain organic amaranth

Whole-grain organic amaranth consists of dried amaranth seeds sold as whole grain and identified as organically produced. The small, round seeds are commonly pale cream to golden, with colour varying by type; when cooked they soften and can become slightly gelatinous, with a mild, earthy flavour.

They are cooked as porridge or used in soups, salads, and grain-style preparations, and may also be toasted or popped. Organic describes a production designation rather than a distinct amaranth form. This page concerns intact seeds, not flour or popped amaranth.
