Truth

How to eat
it
1 Soak
the grain, then make a salted porridge with veggies such as carrots and beans.
2 Soak
it and cook it with milk. Sweeten with prunes and dried apples, and top with
sunflower seeds and nuts.
It’s 2017 and finally,
the amaranth grain is getting the publicity it deserves. Cultivated over
centuries, it had crept out of the health knowledge system until recently. But
you only have to try it once to see the effect it has on your health.
Unlike wheat and rice, amaranth
does not stimulate side effects, making it safe to eat for everyone. And it
offers some unique qualities and benefits.
1 It can be consumed
during any traditional Hindu fast.
2 It is a rich source of
the amino acid called lysine (amino acids are the building blocks of proteins),
which makes it an excellent source of protein for all age groups, including
infants and the elderly. Other carbs do not contain enough lysine for our needs.
3 It is also an excellent
source of minerals, including calcium, iron and magnesium, which makes it
exceptional for bone growth and strength.
4 Amaranth leaves
(popularly called chulai ka saag and cooked as a vegetable), are rich in
minerals.
5 Amaranth also contains
an oil that greatly improves immunity, making it excellent for children
suffering from allergies – especially wheat allergies.
6 Because its alkaline
value is greater than most other grains, it is good for people with
inflammations such as rheumatoid arthritis and skin disorders.
7 Amaranth can be a
lifesaver for glutenintolerant people. Replace wheat with amaranth grain, and
symptoms of wheat intolerance such as facial bloating, weight gain, a groaning
stomach, fatigue, sinusitis, sneezing and allergies will disappear in a week. 8
Heart patients and people
with high cholesterol will benefit, as it helps reduce inflammation in the
arteries, normalising blood pressure.
