Amaranth is the star ingredient of our nutritious, vegan snacks. It is actually a seed with the nutritional value of a grain. Similar to quinoa, but even better!

“Amaranth is a great but underrated superfood everyone should include in their diets. It has protein, high levels of fiber, and vitamins and minerals to keep your body healthy.” (Sunwarrior.com)

“It has also been associated with a number of health benefits, including reduced inflammation, lower cholesterol levels and increased weight loss.” (Healthline.com)

We are a small business partnered with an artisans' cooperative which manufactures the snacks in Puebla, Mexico. Amaranth flour is sourced from another cooperative in the area, where they grow amaranth sustainably with traditional practices. Amaranth is an ancestral and superfood plant that has threatened industrial crops and has been treated as a weed. Our snacks help bring back this superfood and support the communities who are rescuing it to preserve their culture and regain sovereignty.
