How does amaranth differ from ordinary grains, and why is it in the ingredients? — Amaranth Rings with Cocoa, 150 g

Amaranth belongs to the pseudocereals: botanically it is not related to wheat, rye or barley. Its seeds are valued for their rich, slightly nutty flavour and nutritional composition — which is why it is increasingly included in products aimed at a more balanced diet.

In these rings, amaranth is combined with rice and maize: rice and maize give the familiar light, crunchy texture, while amaranth adds depth of flavour. This combination produces a product that feels similar to ordinary chocolate cereal but with a different composition.

Important: amaranth is not automatically gluten-free in the finished product — production may involve contact with other grains. If you have coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity, check the allergen information on the specific packaging.
