Q: what is amaranth& can i sprout it
A: Amaranth or pigweed, is a cosmopolitan genus of herbs. It is a traditional food plant in Africa, this vegetable has potential to improve nutrition, boost food security, foster rural development and support sustainable landcare. While we have no experience in sprouting it I'm sure it could be worth a go!
If you do try it please let us know how you get on.

Q: What are the different health benefits I might expect form using Amaranth as a breakfast food?
A: Hi, amaranth seeds are high in protein and contain lysine and methionine, two essential amino acids, not normally found in grains. The seeds are also high in fibre and contain calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus and vitamins A and C.
Amaranth also contains a form of vitamin E which is believed to have cholesterol-lowering activity in humans. When cooked, amaranth is roughly 90% digestible. If you require further information, I would suggest getting in touch with a GP or a nutritionalist. Hope this helps, Robyn.
