Organic Amaranth Whole Grain, Source of Protein and Fiber, Gluten-Free, Certified Non-GMO, 16-Ounce (Packaging May Vary)

I first tried amaranth out of curiosity, but it’s become one of my go-to grains for both texture and nutrition. It has a subtly nutty flavor and cooks up into a creamy base similar to porridge or quinoa, depending on how much water you use. I rotate it into my weekly routine alongside oats and white quinoa, and it holds its own in both sweet and savory dishes. I can also say that NOW Foods delivers consistent quality—every batch I’ve opened has been clean, fresh, and uniform in color and texture. It also stores perfectly in airtight containers or bags without clumping or losing that light golden tone over time. A genuinely underrated staple that brings variety and balance to any minimalist pantry. — Curated by Jaded John | #OrderlyCleanDesign

It has kind of a weedy taste and a bit of crunch but I like it better than Quinoa which I also like. I grew up fighting pig weed on the farm as a kid, who knew I'd enjoy eating the seeds as an old man? I cook it in my rice cooker and put a little syrup on it.

I need to get used to it. Yet, the taste is good.

High quality!

Taste great. Takes 20 minutes to cook.

This amaranth is fresh, and tastes just like amaranth should. I was happy to find it at a decent price when my local coop stopped carrying it.

tastes good when made properly. Great way to get your proteins in and get your bowels moving. they're literally tiny beads that become hollow after cooking. They're alkaline and has an acquired texture. Highly rec

Great product for use with veggies or as side dish. Also good for use with fruits as breakfast. Need a small-holed strainer if too much water is left after cooking.
