hi there, i was curious so i googled it for you, I hope this helps
Amaranth is a tall
plant with very broad leaves; it produces many thousands of tiny
seeds. The leaves and the
seeds are edible. The amaranth is closely related to pigweed, spinach, beets, and other
plants in the goosefoot family, Chenopodiaceae. Although the amaranth is sometimes classified in the goosefoot family, it is most commonly classified in its own family, Amaranthaceae. The point of all this is that persons who tolerate spinach and beets well may do very well on the highly nutritious
seeds, leaves, and flour of the amaranth. Special Foods™ amaranth flour is made from organic amaranth
seeds. Amaranth flour has a pleasant, nutty taste. It makes good tasting bread, muffins, bagels, pasta, milk, imitation nut butter ,cookies, gravies, sauces, pancakes, flatbreads, doughnuts, dumplings, and who knows what else. (Recipes are supplied with the flours). ALL recipes are made without wheat or other grains, without yeast, and without milk, eggs, or sugar.
