Amaranth

Amaranth is one of the staple foods for the Inca, Maya, and Aztec civilizations. Additionally, it is a grain with impressive health benefits that is very nutritious.

According to a 2014 test-tube research, the anti-inflammatory properties of amaranth may work by inhibiting the activation of a pathway that causes inflammation. Amaranth may lessen a number of risk factors for heart disease because of its high fiber content. Amaranth seeds have been shown to lower blood triglyceride and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, according to one animal research. 5 grams of fiber and 9 grams of protein are included in one cup (246 grams) of cooked amaranth. It also has a good amount of magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese and provides 29% of your daily requirements for iron.
