Cooking these with rice flakes, water and full fat organic milk, for a rather delicious porridge

Tasty and brilliant for adding another texture to stews/sauces/soups - they also help thicken the sauce, but retain their texture.

Have not tried these yet. But they are meant to be very good.

Quality fine, the rest a bad experience - see earlier response

Be very careful with the packaging, because the plastic splits (I've had amaranth all over my floor because of this). Ethical Superstore were great though and sent me a replacement.

2 Questions
Juddy asked this question on 14th Oct 2009
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.

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.
