Amaranth is an ancient Aztec grain that is rich in protein and calcium. Amaranth releases a lot of starch while it is cooking, creating a soupier cooked grain than a fluffy one. It is best not add salt to amaranth while it is cooking or it will not absorb enough water to become tender.

Ingredients
1 cups amaranth
2½ cups water
