Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi All I have a recipe that calls for puffed amaranth and I can't find it in any of the local health food stores. Does anyone know where I can buy it? Or has anyone actually tried " puffing " their own? I found something that showed how to do it and it looked so easy but I just burned mine. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hi Jen, You need to dry toast it. Your pot needs to be hot first before you add the amaranth - only 1 to 2 Tbsp at a time. Let it pop until the popping slows down. Dump it into a bowl and start over by reheating the pan. If the heat is too high, you will start to scorch your amaranth so you may just have to try a lower setting on your stove (I use no more than medium heat). Hope that helps.
