Amaranth – राजगीरा
Although amaranth has only recently gained popularity as a health food, this ancient grain has been a dietary staple in certain parts of the world for millennia.
It has an impressive nutrient profile and been associated with a number of impressive health benefits.
What is Amaranth – राजगीरा?
Amaranth is a group of more than 60 different species of grains that have been cultivated for about 8,000 years.
These grains were once considered a staple food in the Inca, Maya and Aztec civilizations.
Amaranth is classified as a pseudocereal, meaning that it’s not technically a cereal grain like wheat or oats, but it shares a comparable set of nutrients and is used in similar ways. Its earthy, nutty flavour works well in a variety of dishes.
Besides being incredibly versatile, this nutritious grain is naturally gluten-free and rich in protein, fibre, micronutrients and antioxidants.
