Amaranth should be cooked before consumption

1. The leafy amaranth is boiled for 10 minutes and the water is discarded (oxalic acid) or you can cook leafy Amaranth just as you cook doodo, Nakati and the rest of the Vegetables.
2. Amaranth porridge* : The amaranth flour can be used as pure Amaranth flour or can be mixed with other cereal products and needs to be cooked for at least 10-20 minutes (boil water after the water has started boiling pour in Amaranth paste keep stirring and allow it boil for 10-20min) there after put in sugar, or Milk if you wish.
3. Amaranth flour can be mixed with other flour and mingled for Karo/Atapa normally
4. The grain can also be popped like popcorn,* however you must note that you don’t use cooking oil in popping Amaranth. Just put a Flat bottomed source pan on fire, allow it hit up the spray seeds on the bottom they will burst. Don’t put a lot because they will get burnt. Keep putting little when they burst remove them and add.
5. Consuming Amaranth as soup, instead of putting sugar you in salt just like mushroom soup instead Amaranth soup is highly nutritious.
