If you buy Amaranth in the whole grain and not already ground up into flour, you can pop it like pop corn! I found the recipe today and it tells you how to pop it and make it into peanut butter balls! I thought it would be great for those of you who can't tolerate regualr pop corn.

AMARANTH PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

2 tablespoons amaranth

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

2 tablespoons honey

Place 1/2 tablespoon of amaranth in a very hot, heavy

skillet. Amaranth should begin to pop like popcorn almost

immediately. Quickly stir with a flat edged wooden spoon or a pastry

brush until amaranth stops popping. Immediately pour into a

bowl. Pop remaining amaranth 1/2 tablespoon at a time. Allow to

cool slightly. Stir in peanut butter and honey. Mix

thoroughly. Form into balls about 3/4-inch in diameter. Allow to

cool completely. Makes about 15 balls.

Hope these work out for everyone!

I tried popping amaranth once and it didn't work, though I wonder if the pan was hot enough. It just burned. But seeing this recipe makes me want to try it again :)

Nu-World Foods Puffed Amaranth Cereal would solve the problem with popping the amaranth. It has nothing else in it and works great. It is available online through it's own site or here on celiac.com.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
