Experiment with Amaranth

Like quinoa, amaranth is a New World superfood that's gluten-free and packed with protein (9 grams per cup) and fiber. Amaranth is also rich in iron, magnesium, and manganese. It takes on a rich, pudding-like texture when cooked. Try it instead of cornmeal in polenta, or in place of rice in rice pudding. To cook: Bring 1 cup amaranth and 6 cups liquid (water or broth) to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes or until tender.
