Amaranth is a nutritious grain and a group of more than 60 different species of amaranthus. However, there are only three species, namely Amaranthus cruenus, Amaranthus hypochondriacus, and Amaranthus caudatus, that are commonly cultivated for their edible seeds. According to the FAO, amaranth grain as a source of protein is "superior in content and quality to traditional cereals." In the Inca, Maya, and Aztec civilizations, amaranth was considered a dietary staple food. Recently, amaranth has gained popularity as a superfood or health food, as it has a remarkable nutritional profile and is associated with numerous health benefits. It is an excellent food for brain and neurological health, a good source of antioxidants, helps improve heart health by lowering LDL cholesterol levels, improves bone health, and is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for celiac diets. A popular ingredient in bread, pasta, soups, desserts, biscuits, drinks, and breakfast meals, amaranth provides a good source of protein, fiber, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and other nutrients.
