May’s Grain of the Month is Amarant

May’s Grain of the Month is Amaranth. In Mexico and other Central American countries, the lingering chill of April begins to give way to May’s longer days and more temperate nights. Gentle rains and warm sun create the ideal environment for tiny grains of amaranth to sprout and begin their high climb towards the sky. In May, we also celebrate Celiac Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to recognize the important role that naturally gluten-free amaranth plays in gluten-free diets.
