Description
Amaranth Seeds by Food to Live are 100% amaranth whole seeds of premium quality that carry a large number of benefits. Cultivated in South America a millennia ago, amaranth is considered one of the most ancient types of "pseudocereals". This seed variety was a popular product among former great civilizations of Maya, Inca, and Aztecs who used it for special rituals and ceremonies.
