Hello Dear Friends,
We left behind another year with its bitter and sweet. I hope 2018 will be the year of new beginnings and new developments for all of us. I prepared amaranth salad because I wanted the first recipe of the new year to be both different and practical.
amaranth, chia ve quinoa entered our lives at the same time. You can see them all in the same aisle when you visit the shelves in the market.
What is Amaranth?
Amaran is a high protein source with plenty of fiber. It is even written as the grain with the highest protein source in many places. I was very surprised when I read that its name is Rooster Comb, in the past, these cock combs were very famous as ornamental plants. Turns out amaranth was its seeds. It means "Eternal" in Greek. It's also easy to prepare. You boil it for a short time and then leave it to rest to absorb the water. There is no need to filter anyway.
Boil, rest, mix with different ingredients after cooling. It's that simple. I will have other recipes coming soon.
