History lesson for your palate: have you always wanted to eat like the Incas and Aztecs? Here's your chance! We set off on an adventurous journey through the deepest jungles, Indiana Jones style, to get the tropical gold of the indigenous peoples for you. OK, maybe it wasn't quite like that. Moreover, we don't get our grainy friend from South America, but from India, where the Inca grain is also native. But what counts in the end is the result: a gigantic portion of our power organic amaranth.

Pure Inca gold for you!

But what is amaranth? The millet-like amaranth grains have been an integral part of many Latin American cuisines for more than 3,000 years and are still an essential part of a balanced diet around the world. The cultivated plant comes from the amaranth family. Due to its taste, you can use the Aztec grain in many different ways: do you like it hearty? Then turn on the oven and bake some fresh amaranth bread with millet or prepare some tasty amaranth patties. In a salad, refined with virgin olive oil, or in a casserole, the golden grain takes you on a culinary journey of discovery into times long past.

Sweet or savoury – your choice!

Savoury is not your thing? How about amaranth porridge or an amaranth topping for your fruity muesli to start the day full of energy – à la Incas? Or would you rather have a homemade amaranth bar for in between meals? You can even conjure up delicious amaranth biscuits and cookies for little ones with a sweet tooth using Inca gold. A little tip: if you’re really brave, try a creamy, original Latin American amaranth soup with corn – for that Aztec feeling in your mouth. As you can see, there are countless recipes for delicious dishes that use amaranth as a main course or side dish. Just take a look at our food journal for more inspo!

And while we’re at it: have you heard of its grainy friend, quinoa? Also known as “Inca popcorn”, quinoa has just so much to offer as well. Thousands of years old tradition of indigenous peoples in your kitchen. One thing is clear: the Incas and Aztecs possessed huge treasures of incredible value – you can find at least one of them here with us. Buy our organic amaranth now!

How to prepare amaranth?

Amaranth is called the "grain of the Incas and Aztecs" for a reason. Our amaranth grains are ideal for a balanced diet, as they can be combined with a wide variety of cuisines.

Similar to quinoa or millet, you cook it with three times the amount of water: first boil the water, then add the amaranth grains and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Where does amaranth come from?

The amaranth plant originated in Central and South America and has been a staple food there for several thousand years. How did the golden Aztec treasure come to us? During the expansion of corn cultivation, it snuck aboard ships bound for Europe as a stowaway and eventually made its way onto our plates. But many of the more than 40 different species of the foxtail plant are also at home in Asia. Of course, it is also their good reputation that has made them indispensable for us. Over the years, amaranth has become so well established that it may even be possible to grow it in Germany, in your own garden. Our amaranth comes from India, where it feels most comfortable due to the climate – of course from 100% organic cultivation.

How do I best store amaranth?

Even if the power grain from tropical regions of the world is a real sun worshipper, you should store it away from direct light, in a dry place. Its minimum shelf life is 24 months from the date of production, if kept in optimal conditions in the original sealed packaging.
