Nutritional benefits The amaranth seed or grain is similar to millet and quinoa in terms of nutritional benefits. In India, the amaranth grain is popped like corn and used like breakfast cereal, porridge, and gruel, and in sweets like laddus, or milled into flour and used to make flatbreads. Nutrition Of Amaranth For Health Amaranth is highly vitamin-rich and is a good source of vitamins A, B6, K and C, a well as folate and riboflavin. Amaranth includes numerous minerals. Amaranth is a terrific source of manganese and also iron, calcium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. Protein Amaranth contains large amounts of protein, up to 30% more than wheat flour, rice and oats. Amaranth also contains no gluten, a protein that can be found in many true grains. Dietary Fiber & Amino Acids Dietary fiber and essential amino acids, including lysine, which has clinically shown potential for cancer treatment, are prominent in amaranth. It also contains relatively low cholesterol levels. PLANTING AMARANTH: -Plant in an area that will receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day. -Amend the soil with compost or manure. -Amaranth grown as a green requires more nitrogen, so plant to add a little bit of bloodmeal or conttoseed meal onto the prepared area. Be sure to not add too much though (just a handful will suffice), otherwise you'll get wilted leaves. -Plant in mid to late spring, or once the soil temperatures have reached 68F (20C). -Spread the seeds onto the soil and lightly rake them in. Water the seeds in and continue to water once a week, about an inch each time. -The seeds will usually sprout within 7 to 14 days. -Tiny sprouts can be used to microgreens, but for a bigger production allow the plants to reach 1-2 feet before fully harvesting. -To harvest young amaranth leaves, cut the entire plant a few inches from ground level. This will ensure that another production of amaranth will happen.
