Discover the whole grain goodness of amaranth, an ancient grain that was a staple food of the early Aztecs. Gluten free and a source of complete protein, amaranth contains all the essential amino acids, including lysine, which is lacking in most grains. It makes a delicious hot cereal or polenta, or you can add its pleasant texture and extra nutrition to baked goods or homemade granola. (from Bob's Red Mill)
