Amaranth is an ancient grain that has been cultivated for over 8,000 years. It was a staple in the diets of the Aztecs and is now celebrated worldwide for its nutritional richness and gluten-free nature.
In Hindi, Amaranth is commonly known as Rajgira or Ramdana, meaning “the grain of the gods.”
It has a light, nutty flavor and a slightly crunchy texture when cooked. Amaranth grains are tiny, round, and come in shades of golden yellow to ivory.
Rich in protein, fiber, iron, calcium, and magnesium, Amaranth is a complete protein source, making it especially popular in vegetarian and vegan diets. It also contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, adding to its superfood status.
Amaranth is often used to make popped snacks, porridges, ladoos, or added to soups and salads. During fasting (vrat), it is a preferred ingredient due to its satvik and energizing properties.
Beyond food, amaranth oil is also used in skincare for its hydrating and healing properties.
At True Story, we believe that food is the healthiest and the tastiest in its purest form; and it remains in its purest form only when it is grown using organic farming methods. Organic means no chemical fertilizers, no synthetic pesticides, and no GMOs. Food that is grown using organic and natural farming techniques is considered very healthy for one's body since it is free of harmful chemicals. Organic cultivation methods are considered very healthy for the soil as well since they increase the regenerative capacity of the soil.

FAQs
Organic products are often chosen for reasons such as reduced exposure to synthetic chemicals, support for sustainable farming practices, and the belief that organic foods may have higher nutritional content.
Organic food is produced without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and GMOs, using natural farming methods that prioritize soil health and sustainability. Non-organic (conventional) food may involve the use of synthetic chemicals, genetically modified organisms, and conventional farming practices that may impact soil and environmental health.
Refined products undergo processing to remove impurities and often have a smoother texture and longer shelf life. Unrefined products are less processed, retaining more natural nutrients and flavors
Organic products offer benefits such as reduced exposure to synthetic pesticides, support for sustainable farming practices, potentially higher nutritional content, and avoidance of genetically modified organisms.
You can identify organic products by looking for official organic certification labels on the packaging, such as USDA Organic, EU Organic, or equivalent certifications. These labels indicate that the product has met specific organic farming and processing standards.
