Today I will tell you about a plant that has many useful properties, and many names.
Someone calls it "the golden grain of God," someone "Aztec wheat", and some even "Inca bread", and all these beautiful epithets refer to amaranth.

Amaranth
This is the most unusual plant that ever met. I used to think that this is a weed, which is difficult to fight. But our ancestors believed that this flower prolongs life.
Since ancient times, they made amaranth bread and believed that this plant prolongs life. He was even given to babies, and seeds often took on a campaign, because they considered them to be a source of strength and health.
The native land of the plant is South America.
From the seeds of amaranth make rump and flour, and the leaves of the plant are used for the preparation of salads, sauces, soups, and other delicious dishes. Also from the seeds are obtained valuable amaranth oil, which contains squalene, which protects our skin from premature aging.
Amaranth seeds like its leaves are very useful. They have a lot of calcium and a high level of minerals.

Amaranth is a unique plant, its seeds can completely replace meat, contain 14% fiber, 18% protein and 18% sugar. They almost no gluten, and a lot of magnesium.
I want to suggest cooking porridge from an amaranth. To do this, take 1 glass of amaranth seeds to 3 glasses of water, cook for 20 minutes on low heat. I really love to add nuts or dried fruits, you can use any fresh fruit for flavor, try it delicious.
