Amaranthas began in the spring of 2006 to share the excitement of living with healthy food choices and experiencing supportive wellness approaches with individuals and groups.

Amaranth is an ancient plant with a colorful history that has been reintroduced to North America.  Some species are grown as a vegetable for their spinach-like leaves.  These leaves make a tasty salad.  Other species are cultivated for their tiny gluten free seeds which are valued for their high fiber, protein, calcium, amino acids (lysine and methionine), and iron.  These highly nutritious seeds need to be cooked before eaten.  Amaranth seeds and amaranth flour share versatile uses in breads, cakes, soups, and “grain” dishes.  Also, popped as a snack, sprouted in salads and boiled for a morning cereal are other options.

Just as amaranth has been rediscovered and treasured again, you will create your distinctive holistic health journey for arrival at new horizons in order to cherish your genuine self by completing our programs at Amaranthas.
