NOTES : "A ancient grain revisited. It was cultivated by the Aztecs,
but was also widely used in China and in South and Central America.
Commonly ground into flour, amaranth is also a wonderful whole-grain
dish,but it only recently came back into vogue as a grain. It has a
strong, earthy, sweet flavor that matches perfectly the sweetness of
fresh corn. Its unique flavor and texture make it a delicious
alternative to the more commonly used whole grains.
