History
The name amaranth is derived from the Greek word for immortal, unfading. The amaranth, or lovage, has been known and used by man for thousands of years. Along with corn and beans, it was one of the most widely grown crops at the time of the discovery of America. Amaranth was of great importance in the diet of the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas, who called it the miracle grain. The use of amaranth is particularly widespread in India, Nepal and China, where it is part of many traditional dishes. In the Czech Republic, it has been known and used since the 1990s.
Origin and cultivation
Amaranth is popular for its unpretentiousness and adaptability. Although this annual plant thrives mainly in warm and dry areas, it can adapt to any fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Due to its hardiness, amaranth can be grown all year round. Amaranth seeds ripen in late September/early October. The ripe seeds are harvested with a thresher and then cleaned and dried.
Composition
Amaranth belongs to a group called pseudo-cereals. Pseudo-cereals are an important source of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals.

Psyllium som si kupovala v bio potravinách na doplnenie vlákniny. Ale nedalo mi to, musela som si objednať tieto semienka a vyskúšať ich. Rozdiel je teda veľký, vyhovujú mi oveľa viac. Dávam do vody, nechám nabobtnať a vypijem, taktiež pridávam do ovsenej kaše, do jedál keď varím. Amarantové semienka tiež pridávam do ovsených kaši, skvelé ako príloha k jedlu
