Amaranth (BIO) ID: 158-290

Amaranth is the superfood of cereals because it contains more protein than most cereals and two essential amino acids, lysine and methionine. It contains 62-65% starch and has a high glycemic index. In addition, it is high in fiber and contains vitamins A and C, as well as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus. What is great about amaranth is the unusually high levels of lysine, while it is also rich in fatty acids, of which, the main ones, are high-quality linolenic acids.
