Amaranth

Amaranth is a millet-like grain and has a long history. The Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas ate the seeds as porridge and in the form of a drink. Amaranth has since spread to many continents and is cultivated in North and South America, Asia, and Africa.

Both as a seed extract and as an oil, amaranth has a number of positive effects on the skin. It helps to increase skin's elasticity and to minimize fine lines and wrinkles.

It soothes the skin and also has valuable protective properties thanks to its high amount of vitamin E.

There are some varieties of Amaranthus that are cultivated as leafy vegetables and types of cereal grain, as well as for the perennial plant?s valuable essential oils.

Scientifically categorized in the Amaranthus genus, the seeds of the amaranth plant have been valued for thousands of years, particularly by the indigenous cultures of Central America and Mexico.

Ancient cultures depended on amaranth as a major staple of their diet, due to its high concentration of protein, minerals, and vitamins. It has since been exported to other parts of the world, including Europe and North America, but it is still primarily grown and consumed in Central America.

Both the leaves and the seeds of amaranth are valuable in terms of human health. Whether you choose to consume it as a leaf vegetable, a cereal grain, or grain flour depends on what health benefits you are seeking out.

The root itself is also consumed as a root vegetable and has a rich mixture of minerals and nutrients. Considering the versatility and high concentration of antioxidants and phytosterols, amaranth is one of the most of valuable health foods that you may have never heard of.

*Stimulate cell growth and repair
*Reduce inflammation
*Prevent certain chronic diseases
*Boost bone strength
*Lower blood pressure
