Terry Walters has a great pot pie recipe that uses amaranth and millet for a top crust. http://www.projectfoodie.com/cookbook-recipes/recipe/deep-dish-greens-with-millet-amaranth-crust.html

I use the puffed amaranth for my breakfast. Puffed oat, spelt, chia seed, linseed, blueberrys and lowfat quark! That's enough to have energy during the morning :)

I grow crimson amaranth at home, so I use the leaves like spinach or kale and harvest the seeds to either mix into oatmeal or throw in smoothies. I love it!

Yum! I love amaranth. Once you get the hang of popping it, it becomes like tiny tiny popcorn, and alegria is another super easy, healthy snack to make. Additionally, I toss it into granola with other nuts and seeds. have talked about it here: http://salvegging.blogspot.com/2014/07/as-promised.html

Wow, how do you pop it? Is there a trick? I'm a popcorn addict and I want to try other popped grains ;)
Thx!

@jan--it takes some practice. Basically you want to heat a wide dry skillet, pour in a tsp amaranth, cover the pan and shake, and within 20 seconds they should pop. Then you want to immediately pour it into a bowl to stop the heat and repeat with another tsp at a time. I have definitely googled videos to help.
