About:
Amaranth was a sacred grain of the South American Aztec civilisation and integral part of their cultural and spiritual life and was believed to possess supernatural, nutritive powers. It has the highest level of protein of any grain and the quality of this protein is even better than Soya bean. It contains significantly high quantities of all 8 essential amino acids not produced by your body and most of the 14 other non-essential amino acids. These are all protected during processing by Amaranth's unique ring embryo. It also contains rare group of Vitamin E isomers known as Tocotrienols, Squalene, found in olives and the deep sea dog shark and Phytosterols which are common in Soya Beans.
