AMARANTH
 
Amaranth is an ancient Aztec cereal which has the highest level of protein of any grain and the quality of this protein is better even than the soya bean. It contains significantly high amounts of all the eight essential amino acids that are not produced by the body and also most of the 14 other non essential amino acids.
It also contains a rare group of Vitamin E isomers known as tocotrienols which can help lower cholesterol, Squalene, found in olives and some deep sea sharks, and Phytosterols  which are common in soya beans.
Amaranth has exceptionally high nutritive value with high digestibility, an amino acid composition close to optimal for human requirements, high quantities of carbohydrates, substantial dietary fibre, high in iron, calcium and other vitamins & minerals, it is high in lysine, cystein and methionine, it is gluten free and has no cholesterol.
When mixed with other cereals such as rice, wheat or maize, Amaranth can dramatically increase that cereals protein quality.   
Serve as a cereal by itself with milk or as a topping on cereals, in muesli or porridge, or mix into cooked rice to eat with a main course.
