Amaranth

Amaranth grain (also known as kiwicha) has high-protein content and irreplaceable nutritional qualities.

The seeds have 13-18% of proteins and a high level of leucine, an essential amino acid for nutrition. Kiwicha grain (also known as amaranth) contains calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium, zinc, vitamin E and vitamin B complex.

Its fiber, compared to the wheat and other cereal fibers, is very fine and soft. It is not necessary to separate it from flour; even better, together they constitute a great source of energy.

Kiwicha has drawn NASA’s attention due to its great nutritional properties, so it has been included in astronauts’ diet.

Tecnobotánica amaranth seeds are suitable for celiac people and have Kosher Parve certification; besides, they are recommended by the Argentine Association of Naturist Doctors (Asociación Argentina de Médicos Naturistas).
