So everyone loves popped corn! Amaranth is another grain which is easily popped. Amaranth seeds contain lysine, an amino acid. They may be a good source of protein for people who are sensitive to gluten. Amaranth contain thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, zinc, copper, and manganese.
Guilt- free this snack is my favorite to eat with movies. Take your raw amaranth...
And toss them in an already hot pan. Have a cover handy because they pop everywhere! They should begin popping immediately - if they didn't then your pan want hot enough. They should all stop popping after about 30 seconds. Be careful not to leave your amaranth on the stove too long, as they burn very quickly.
You can shake some salt or sugar on them if you'd like. They have a delicate flavor, so you may not want to add butter. However, if you toss a dash of cayenne and onion powder you will have a nice garnish for salad.
Enjoy!!
