How to make amaranth?

Many people wonder if amaranth can be eaten raw? Expanded amaranth is suitable for direct consumption. Following the aeration process, it has been roasted like popcorn. It resembles prepared rice, and its grains are larger and lighter than unexpanded ones. In this form, amaranth can be added to porridge; it is also delicious with milk or yogurt. And how to cook grains in their natural, raw form? There are two schools of thought. One is to add the amaranth directly to boiling salted water. One cup of seeds to 3 cups of water is the perfect proportion. Then reduce the heat and let it cook, covered, for about 15 to 20 minutes. When the amaranth has absorbed all the water, it is ready to eat. Another method is to immediately pour the amaranth seeds with salted water and boil them until the water is absorbed. Amaranth can also be added directly to soup. Keep in mind, however, that it will significantly increase in volume when cooked. The grains are also a great addition to bread baking. Due to its versatile flavor, amaranth can be used in desserts, stuffed vegetables, soups, and meat dishes.
