Thanks! Hi Mom at the GF edge- yes, savory works well for amaranth. I think any strong flavor will do, though. I am currently working on an amaranth cinnamon-sugar scone. Hi Anna, You can find unbuffered vitamin c crystals at any health food store in the vitamin department. Your breakfast recipe sounds interesting. I'm intrigued by the combination of spicy and savory flavors... especially the banana. I may have to try it! -Sea Hi Shirley! Thanks!

C crystals? I love amaranth. My favorite way to cook it thus far is simply to boil lightly in water until done (it'll be sort of soupy), then add sea salt, oil of choice, a very little cayenne, turmeric, ginger, and a cut-up whole or half banana. I could eat several bowls of this for breakfast. Where do you find unbuffered Vit. C crystals?

Savory sounds like the way to go. Thanks for posting this - it goes in my 'recipes to try' queue!

As far as amaranth, I still haven't tried any, but I think some ingredients just have certain characteristics that work better even if you don't think you're a huge fan of them. I'd be happy to have a little party sampling these two treats. :-) Shirley That combo looks really good, Sea.

The herbs are good too- especially if you use a blend with strong flavors, and lots of rosemary. I like it, but it is a savory "brown" sort of flatbread. -Sea Cheryl, For me, the caraway really helps smooth out the flavor… and salt is important too.

It chemically reacts with the baking soda similarly to baking powder. Baking powder is a problem for corn sensitive folks because it often contains corn starch. Hi Metta, You are welcome! This bread recipe has become a favorite of mine on amaranth days. It is dense- but in a special way, kind of like a less-fluffy corn bread that has been toasted. I think of it as a kind of "hard tack" bread and I find that I enjoy the texture. I adore sesame seeds, tahini, etc. but am taking a break from them for baby yum because I ate TONS (craved it) while I was pregnant and soon after her birth. Hi Aubree,
