About Gepuffter amaranth
Gepuffter Amaranth, or puffed amaranth, is a nutrient-rich, ancient grain native to Central and South America. Known for its light and airy texture, it is made by heating amaranth seeds until they pop, similar to popcorn. This gluten-free superfood is packed with plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and calcium. It is especially popular in vegetarian and vegan diets as a source of complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. Low in fat and naturally cholesterol-free, gepuffter amaranth supports heart health and digestion. Its mild, nutty flavor makes it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory recipes, such as granolas, energy bars, salads, or yogurt toppings. While nutritious, it should be consumed in moderation due to its calorie density. For a wholesome addition to your meals, gepuffter amaranth is both a delicious and health-conscious choice.
