Popped Amaranth

amaranth seeds

Preheat a high pot over medium-high heat.

Spread about 1 Tablespoon at the time as evenly as possible on the bottom of the hot pot.

Wait for the seeds to pop. This should be quite immediate. If they don't pop right away, the pot wasn't hot enough and the seeds won't pop and just burn. Discard that batch and start over.

Once the popping starts, shake the pot to ensure all seeds pop and the popped seeds don't burn.

Once the puffing ceases remove the popped amaranth and put into a sieve to shake out the unpuffed seeds.

Then add the popped amaranth to a bowl and repeat the same process until all amaranth is popped.

For every Tablespoon of raw amaranth you'll get about 2 Tablespoons popped amaranth.

Your instructions were bang on, my first lot went in the bin and then I found my rhythm, I managed to do a 300g bag in a short and interesting time. I used a fryer screen to stop them popping everywhere. Thank you :)

I love this recipe, I have a limited diet and following the “Eat Right for your Type Diet”. Amaranth and Quinoa are big parts of my diet (no grains). Thanks for another great way to enjoy Amaranth! 
I will definitely try the Tuna Patties and snack bars 🤗. 

Thanks!

I tried that, and no, unfortunately it doesn’t work. If you have a whirligig for stovetop/kettle corn (not sure of the technical term 🤣) that works beautifully

Can you add oil if so what oil? Can you add salt?

I am surprised that no one suggested inverting a large sieve on top of the pot to prevent the little escape artists from ending up all over the stovetop. 
This was my first time of using amaranth, and I like it very much.

Thanks for the detailed instructions on how to puff it well! I just made some and can't stop munching on the warm puffs by the spoonfuls 😁
So fun to eat! Thank you 😊
