Aramanthus is gluten-free and low allergy food.

It contains well balanced essential amino acids.  Rich in protein, which is two times more than white rice, and is three times more digestible than white rice.

Amaranthus is also rich in calcium, Magnesium, phosphorous, and iron.   Particularly, iron is 2 times more than quinoa, 10 times more than white rice, and 4.5 times more than spinach.
