Amaranth Products, Etc...

Hey everyone,

So after reading the article in this forum about how good amaranth is for you, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if the amaranth products (such as the amaranth nuggetts and cereal) are any good...I just don't want to spend $5 on something I won't eat. Also has anyone used the Kinnickinnick baking products? I didn't even know they sold those but I saw them at Wild Oats. I would really like to find baking products that are higher in fiber and/or protein...it seems that all the baking mixes aren't all that nutritious...any suggestions? Thanks!

I know alot of people on here use Amaranth, I personally don't like the taste. The only time I can abide it is if its a small amount in a flour mixture. I got the bread crumbs and the crackers and just couldn't do it. I never got to trying the cereal.

At one time Nu-World Amaranth was sending out samples of their cereal. I got some samples and that was the nastiest stuff ever! I wouldn't waste my money on it.........but like with everything it is a matter of taste. Some people like it, others don't. I am just one that doesn't.

I haven't liked most of the amaranth products I've had, though I enjoy the taste of the flour when used appropriately in a mix, but I like the whole grain. The stuff in cereals and crackers... eh... they do something nasty to it.

I also like the whole grain--great in cooking! I bought some of the puffed side dish...not so great. I also had a clerk at Wild Oats stop by b/c she thought I was looking at the cereal (I wasn't though...) and told me "Don't buy it, its henious!" :blink:

Not at all. Whole grain means that the whole of the grain is present, and the germ and bran has not been removed in processing, no matter what the grain. Brown rice, for instance, is a whole grain, the processed version of which is white rice. Corn on the cob is a whole grain. The only grains that contain gluten are wheat, barley, rye, and a few celiacs react to oats as well. All the other grains do not contain gluten.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
