Its stunning color—ranging from deep purple to neon pink—made it an instant favorite in fine dining, where it is often used to provide a \u0026quot;royal\u0026quot; visual finish to sophisticated dishes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmaranth is one of the few plant sources that provides a \u0026quot;complete\u0026quot; protein profile, containing all essential amino acids including lysine. The microgreens are exceptionally high in Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and Vitamin E. Their deep red color comes from betalains, the same powerful antioxidants found in beets, which have been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. They are also known to support bone health and a strong immune system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCulinary Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmaranth microgreens have a very mild, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor, similar to a delicate beet or spinach. Because they are so thin and fragile, they do not offer a heavy \u0026quot;crunch,\u0026quot; but rather a soft, velvety texture that melts in the mouth. Their primary culinary value lies in their unparalleled color; they are the most effective way to add a vibrant \u0026quot;pop\u0026quot; of pink or red to a plate without altering the flavor of the main ingredients.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation Methods\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUse as a delicate, colorful garnish for seafood, such as scallops or white fish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSprinkle over creamy desserts like panna cotta or lemon tart for a surprising visual contrast\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLayer onto gourmet sandwiches or avocado toast for a splash of luxury\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFloat on top of light-colored chilled soups (like vichyssoise) for a stunning presentation\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Ingredients \/ Nutritional Values\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRich in Betalains (potent antioxidants)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh in Vitamin C, K, and A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGood source of Iron, Calcium, and Magnesium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eContains Lysine (an essential amino acid rare in plants)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"our greenery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44591262859528,"sku":"100063-BND-MBR-08P","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0593\/1125\/9798\/files\/AMARANTH_MGS.png?v=1784109698","url":"https:\/\/uurgreenery.com\/en\/products\/microgreen-pads-8er-pure-set-amaranth","provider":"our greenery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
