The legend of Amaranth can be traced back to the time of the Incas, who believed that the seed possessed supernatural powers. For four centuries, no one spoke about it until scientists rediscovered it through studies and confirmed that the tiny Amaranth seeds contain a significant number of key benefits.

What is great about Amaranth is its unusually high levels of lysine. This makes Amaranth protein extremely valuable and has been found to benefit metabolism as well as being linked to slowing down aging.

In the Inca and Aztec cultures - Amaranth was considered a sacred plant - it was attributed with longevity properties. Amaranth was an ideal source of energy for the Indians of the highlands, who had to face journeys of more than 40km each time. Near the port of Vera Cruz in the famous Oxcatlan caves, Amaranth was found among the funerary objects dating back between 6,700 and 5,000 BC.

Characteristically, the color of the Amaranth flowers is bright red, so it is also an ornamental plant. Some types called "foxtails" can be found in gardens in Germany. In general, today there are more than 900 types and 60 species. In addition to corn and beans, Amaranth was one of the staple foods of the Incas of Peru and the Aztecs of Mexico. Their goal was to improve the harvest each time. Unlike other seeds, this is not achieved by increasing the size of the seed and endosperm, but by increasing the number of seeds per plant. By doing this, they had a significant advantage from which we still benefit in terms of yield and nutritional benefits.
