Amaranth flour is a specialty flour derived from the amaranth, a plant native to Mesoamerica that’s cultivated throughout North and South America. It contains roughly 20% your daily value of protein, dietary fiber, folate, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, and a number of dietary minerals. Though it may feel like amaranth just hit the food scene, this grain was a staple food item in the Aztec diet.

Roast the amaranth seeds in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown and fragrant.
