Impact Popped Amaranth

Amaranth has been around for over 8,000 years and is actually a seed, not a grain. It falls into that category of pseudo-grains along with quinoa and a few others. It's a nutritional powerhouse but a little difficult to cook as a hot breakfast grain without turning slimy. When cooked in water or milk, it also has a very earthy flavor, much more robust than quinoa. However, when you pop it, the flavor totally mellows out. Desired cereal toppings: cinnamon, banana, roasted nuts, nut butter, honey, berries, dried fruit, coconut, etc.Nutritional Value per 100g Energy - 1,554kJ (371 kcal)Carbohydrates - 65.25gDietary Fibre - 6.7gFat - 7.02gFatty acids - Saturated: 1.459g, Monounsaturated: 1.685g, Polyunsaturated: 2.778gProtein: 13.56g
