A nutrient-dense pseudo-cereal seed, amaranth seeds (rajgira) offer a mild, nutty flavor with a slightly earthy undertone. A popular fasting food across Indian households, especially during Navratri and other religious fasts, they're valued for their versatility and nutritional profile.
Flavours: Mild, nutty, slightly earthy, with a subtle sweetness when popped or cooked
How to Use: Pop the seeds in a dry, hot pan until they puff up, then use in laddoos, chikkis, or as a crunchy topping for yogurt and fruit. Widely cooked into porridges and khichdi during fasting periods, or ground into flour for making rotis, puris, and other fasting-friendly dishes.
