Amaranth is an excellent source of iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and other trace minerals.
Not only cereals, but considering all important plant foods, the content of iron in amaranth is outstanding both in quantity and biological availability. This is interesting not only for vegetarians, whose iron intake is one of the Achilles' heels of their diet, but also for all 20% of the world's population suffering from iron deficiency.
Its noteworthy calcium content surpasses not only that of milk, but also makes it the best food source in terms of biological absorption.
The magnesium content of amaranth is an order of magnitude higher than in cereals, which has a beneficial effect on maintaining mental freshness and heart muscle function.
The nutritional values of these ingredients are further enhanced by the gluten-free nature of amaranth, making it accessible even for those with a gluten sensitivity.
