Arrowhead Mills Amaranth, 1-Pound Unit (Pack of 6)

Amaranth is a good grain for my celiac daughter to eat- but one of the four packages arrived torn and the grain spilt in the mailing box. I recommend better packaging. Otherwise, no complaints

I ordered this grain because I am following the Ultra Metabolism 21 day detox phase...ok, stop the eye rolling. It's basically about removing potential allergens (diary, etc.) and cleansing yourself from processed foods -any sugar, hydrogenated oils, white flour...and although I dont eat that stuff in general, it's amazing how many "all natural" foods have high fructose corn syrup (many Marie's dressings, etc.)

Anywho- my amaranth arrived quickly but one bag had burst open - the packaging was a joke! Amazon shrinkwraps books so they sre sealed air-tight, yet bags of grain soar freely in their big Amazon box, begging to explode.

The other bags remained in tact - the stench from the grain takes getting used to. It smells swampy to me, but my sister says that's just "earthy."

It's a complete grain and it cooks up nicely as a hot cereal - and it pops like popcorn, too.
