The Virtues of Amaranth

has been rediscovered
in many countries
and it is more often
called the crop
of the XXI century.
It turned out
that the amaranth seeds
overrate the best crop,
the wheat, in terms of
the content of the most
essential nutritious
components.

Ama­ranth is char­ac­ter­ized by the high con­tent of pro­tein which is of a high­er bi­o­log­i­cal val­ue than milk pro­tein.
It is rich in un­sat­u­rat­ed fat­ty acids which play an im­por­tant role in pre­ven­tion of the de­vel­op­ment of ar­te­rioscle­ro­sis and car­dio­vas­cu­lar dis­eases.
It reg­u­lates the biosyn­the­sis of choles­terol which cre­ates a new per­spec­tive of pro­phy­lax­is and treat­ment of the dis­eases of the cir­cu­la­to­ry sys­tem.
The high con­tent of eas­i­ly ab­sor­bing iron cal­ci­um and mag­ne­si­um makes ama­ranth a valu­able com­po­nent of a diet of ex­pect­ing moth­ers and peo­ple with dis­eases of the ner­vous sys­tem and bones (skele­tal sys­tem).
It does not con­tain gluten so it can be giv­en to chil­dren with the celi­ac dis­ease.
A­ma­ranth con­tains squa­lene which slows down the pro­cess­es of age­ing of the or­gan­ism It also con­tains non­fer­ment di­etary fiber which de­creas­es the risk of de­vel­op­ing can­cer.
It con­tains twice as much of cel­lu­lose as bar­ley bran.
A­ma­ranth is a source of group B vi­ta­mins as well as vi­ta­mins A E and C.
Med­i­cal ob­ser­va­tions prove the pos­i­tive in­flu­ence of Ama­ranth prod­ucts on peo­ple’s health thank to their an­ti­ar­te­rioscle­rot­ic and an­ti­cancer char­ac­ter­is­tics Ama­ranth prod­ucts are also ben­e­fi­cial for the work of the in­testines they are in­dis­pen­si­ble for a non­glu­ten di­et.
