Why was Amaranth banned? Since 1976 Amaranth dye has been banned in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a suspected carcinogen.

Cooked amaranth retains a bit of crunch but is soft on the inside. Cook the porridge with either milk (any, though I do not recommend coconut milk as it's very calorific) or water (or try a bit of both). Adjust the amount of liquid to get the consistency you want.
When cooked with another grain, such as brown rice, amaranth doesn't overwhelm with its sticky consistency but adds a nutty sweetness. Use a ratio of 1/4 cup amaranth to 3/4 cup other grain and cook as usual. Added to soups and stews. Take advantage of amaranth's gelatinous quality and use it to thicken soup.
