Di&Di "Eat Healthy" 100% Cold-Pressed Amaranth Oil is produced by cold-pressing the seeds of the amaranth plant (Amaranthus cruentus or Amaranthus hypochondriacus), a remarkable grain plant originating from Central and South America with a nutritional profile that has attracted significant scientific and commercial interest. Amaranth seed oil is highly distinctive among edible plant oils due to its exceptionally high content of squalene — an unsaturated triterpene hydrocarbon that constitutes approximately 6–8% of total oil weight, a concentration some 10–20 times higher than in most other vegetable oils.
Squalene is a naturally occurring compound produced in all higher organisms as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of cholesterol and other sterols, and is present in large amounts in shark liver oil (from which it takes its name) and in relatively smaller amounts in most vegetable oils. In amaranth oil, it is found at levels far higher than in any other commonly available plant oil. In addition to squalene, amaranth oil contains a well-balanced fatty acid profile (oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid), natural tocopherols (vitamin E), and tocotrienols. The 250 ml bottle is suitable for regular daily use as an edible cold-pressed oil.

Di&Di 100% Cold-Pressed Amaranth Oil is an edible plant oil chosen by people who want more than a neutral cooking fat. It is made from amaranth seeds and is used cold, as part of meals or in small measured portions. What makes this oil especially interesting is its naturally high level of squalene — around 6–8%, which is far above the amount found in most common vegetable oils.
Squalene is a lipid-like compound that the human body also produces on its own as part of sterol synthesis. In food, it is valued as a naturally occurring component of oil rather than as a stimulant or quick-fix ingredient. Amaranth oil also provides fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic acid, together with tocopherols and tocotrienols, two forms of vitamin E-related antioxidants. In simple terms, this means the oil combines energy-rich fats with compounds that help protect the oil itself from oxidation and add nutritional value to a balanced diet.
Amaranth has a long history as a traditional crop in Central and South America, where it was appreciated as a nourishing grain plant. In oil form, it appeals to those who like to rotate different dietary oils instead of relying only on sunflower or olive oil. The cold-pressed format matters here: it helps preserve the oil’s naturally present minor components, including squalene and vitamin E fractions, which are more sensitive to excessive heat.
This product fits best into a menu where oils are used thoughtfully: for example, added to salads, mixed into yoghurt or smoothies, or taken by the teaspoon by people who want variety in their food choices. Its taste and composition make it more of a functional kitchen oil than a frying oil. Because heat can damage delicate compounds, it should be used only cold. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, following a medically restricted diet, or sensitive to new foods, it is sensible to introduce it in small amounts and discuss regular use with a healthcare professional.
