  • About

With tiny seeds smaller than quinoa, this is an ancient and nutritious American crop, known and consumed in Mexico and Peru. It was banned by the Conquistadors—just like quinoa—because they attributed magical powers to it, claiming it was used for witchcraft. Nowadays, it is found as amaranth in many international stores. You can use it in similar ways as quinoa, but keep in mind that kiwicha is smaller, takes a bit longer to cook, and has a slightly sticky texture that is terrific for making healthy puddings.
