Common questions
Is Amaranth healthy?
Amaranth scores 100/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.
What is in Amaranth?
Amaranth lists 1 ingredient, starting with Organic Amaranth. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
Does Amaranth contain seed oils?
No. Nothing in Amaranth’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".
How processed is Amaranth?
Amaranth is NOVA group 1: unprocessed or minimally processed. NOVA runs 1 to 4, where 1 is whole food and 4 is ultra-processed.
How does Amaranth compare to other nuts & seeds?
At 100/100 Amaranth sits in our top band, among the better nuts & seeds we have scored.
