Scientific Facts About Amaranth
-
Complete Protein Source
Amaranth contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a rare plant-based source of complete protein. This includes lysine, an amino acid often deficient in other grains.
-
Rich in Phytonutrients
Amaranth is a good source of bioactive compounds like flavonoids, saponins, and phenolic acids, which act as antioxidants, helping to combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation.
-
High in Minerals
Amaranth is particularly rich in magnesium (provides over 40% of the daily recommended intake per cup), manganese, and phosphorus, which are vital for bone health, energy metabolism, and enzymatic reactions in the body.
-
Gluten-Free Grain
Unlike wheat and other grains, amaranth is naturally gluten-free, making it a safe and nutritious alternative for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
-
Rich in Dietary Fiber
A single cup of cooked amaranth contains about 5 grams of fiber, which supports healthy digestion, lowers cholesterol, and helps regulate blood sugar levels.
-
Potential Cholesterol-Lowering Properties
Studies, including one published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition, have shown that amaranth oil and grain may reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) levels and support cardiovascular health.
-
Low Glycemic Index
Amaranth has a relatively low glycemic index, meaning it causes a slower rise in blood sugar levels. This makes it suitable for individuals with diabetes or those looking to maintain steady energy levels.
-
High Calcium Content
Compared to other grains, amaranth stands out as a rich source of calcium, providing over 100 mg per cup of cooked grain. This supports bone health and muscle function.
-
Resistant Starch Content
Amaranth contains resistant starch, a type of carbohydrate that resists digestion in the small intestine. Resistant starch acts as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial gut bacteria and improving gut health.
-
Rich in Squalene
Amaranth seeds contain squalene, a unique compound known for its antioxidant properties and potential benefits in skin health and cholesterol metabolism.
-
Versatile Usage
Amaranth is botanically a pseudocereal and can be used like other grains. It can be popped, boiled, or ground into flour for baked goods, making it a functional food ingredient.
-
Environmental Resilience
Amaranth is a hardy crop that thrives in arid and nutrient-poor soils, making it a sustainable option in agriculture and a solution for food security in challenging climates.
