Amaranth

*What’s At the End of That Fork?

Amaranth describes a group of more than 60 different species of grains that have been cultivated forabout 8,000 years. Grains that were once considered a staple food in the Inca, Maya and Aztec civilizations. Amaranth, a tiny seed like sesame or poppy, is classified as a pseudocereal, not technically a cereal grain like wheat or oats, but sharing a comparable set of nutrients. Its earthy, nutty flavor works
well in many dishes and it is gluten-free and rich in protein, fiber, micronutrients and antioxidants, supplying g iron, selenium, magnesium, and 100% of your RDI for manganese, a micronutrient critical for brain heath.

WHY HORSERADISH? Famous for medicinal uses for centuries, Horseradish is a lesser known cruciferous vegetable (same family as kale, radishes and broccoli) which supplies compounds called glucosinolates which the National Institutes of Health tell us, help fight cancer and other inflammatory conditions… Horseradish possesses powerful antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. As an expectorant, It stimulates mucus secretions in the sinuses and the lungs, helping to treat bronchitis, cough, the common cold, and sinusitis. Compared to conventional antibiotics, horseradish does an equally in good job of clearing up sinusitis and bronchitis as prescribed antibiotics says the American Botanical Council. Green Apron horseradish contains low levels of salt, and is made from fresh ingredients without preservatives.
