White Amaranth

A tier

White amaranth denotes cream-to-ivory seed grades sold for porridge and flour—visually clean in light-coloured baking and infant porridges where dark flecks are unwanted. Flavour is the standard nutty-poppy amaranth profile, mild when well cooked. Rinse dust before cooking; tiny seeds can carry chaff. White seed pops and puffs similarly to darker types. Market “white” is a colour grade across species, not always a single cultivar. Store airtight—high surface oils can stale.
