Amaranth Flour
Amaranth flour is a gluten-free pseudocereal flour milled from the nutrient-dense seeds of the amaranth plant, closely related to quinoa. It stands out among grain alternatives with its complete protein profile containing lysine – an amino acid often deficient in wheat flours – and provides more fiber, iron, and magnesium than most refined grains. The finely ground flour has an earthy, slightly peppery flavor and works best when blended with other flours for baking due to its dense texture, though it remains a staple in traditional Central American flatbreads and porridges.
