Popped Amaranth Seeds
Often used as a home remedy for premature grey hair, amaranth is good for some many other reasons. Use popped amaranth as a crunchy topping on salads, in a granola bar recipe, or as a fun picnic snack. You can top the popped amaranth with seasonings, but we think the nutty flavour is yummy enough on its own. For more information about amaranth seeds check out this article and recipe for sauteed amaranth greens.

Ingredients
Directions
Heat a dry skillet. Throw in a few amaranth seeds. If they pop right away, the pan is hot enough; otherwise wait a minute or two.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of seeds in pan and cover (preferably with a glass lid). Shake pan around. When the majority are popped, transfer into a bowl. Repeat.
If you are not growing your own amaranth, you can find the seeds at health food stores or in the organic aisle at your local grocery store.
