Amaranth Sweets


A Peruvian friend is making fantastic sweets from Amaranth cereals. I can really suggest this as a healthy natural treat for small and big kids. It is also quite fun to make.

This is how you make them.

1- Heat a quite large pot with a lid. When the pot is warm , throw in the cereals and when it start to pop , kind of a silent rain. Move the pot away from the heat. It will easily burn. The concept is like when you pop popcorn at home. 
2 - Add honey to make it sticky. The amount of honey is up to You.


In Peru there is a special wooden tool to press the round balls. We improvise with a square of plastic foil and let them dry up a bit into the shapes.



A healthy and nice snack for the Afternoon Tea.

Try it !
