Description
Move over oatmeal and cornflakes, there's a new cereal in town and it's got everyone talking - Puffed Amaranth! This crunchy, nutty, light and crispy cereal is made from the tiny seeds of the amaranth plant and it's about to change the game. Have you ever heard the saying, "big things come in small packages"? Well, that's exactly what puffed amaranth is all about. The seeds are first cleaned, then heated under pressure which causes them to puff up and expand. And just like that, you've got yourself a bowl of delicious, nutty-flavoured cereal that'll make your mornings more exciting. Puffed amaranth is a popular ingredient in muesli and other cereal blends, but it's not just for breakfast. It's also a great addition to yogurt, smoothie bowls, and as a topping for salads. This little seed is a good source of plant-based protein and contains important minerals such as iron and magnesium, as well as antioxidants. It's like a vitamin pill in cereal form!
Gluten intolerant? No problem! Puffed amaranth is gluten-free, making it a great option for people with gluten sensitivities. Amaranth also contains high levels of lysine, an amino acid that is important for growth and development and has been known to reduce inflammation and lower cholesterol. A cereal that's not only delicious but also good for you - it's like hitting the jackpot in the breakfast aisle.
