Amaranth Flour nutrition facts

Amaranth Flour is a milled grain ingredient used to build doughs and batters; whole-grain, refined, enriched, and unenriched versions differ in composition. It provides protein, dietary fiber, potassium, and calcium. Choose a dry, intact package without insects or moisture damage and store it airtight in a cool, dark place; refrigeration extends the quality of whole-grain and high-fat products.

Interesting fact

Milling changes more than particle size

Whole-grain flour retains bran, germ, and endosperm, while refined flour removes much of the bran and germ. Finer particles also expose more surface area to enzymes and oxygen, affecting digestion and storage stability.
