Blog Special: Summer Sides – Part 3, Amaranth Mango Salad
Moving into the last of our whole grain special blog posts, this is a unique grain to the American market. Amaranth is technically a very tiny seed, but has similar nutrition to whole grains, including fiber, vitamins, minerals, and protein. A gluten-free food, amaranth gives another quick-cooking option to those avoiding gluten. Recipes may use amaranth cooked or popped (yes, similar to popco...

Blog Special: Summer Sides – Part 2, Tabbouleh with Bulgur

Also try bulgur in place of similar...

Those kinds of recipes tend to come from...

Blog Special: Summer Sides – Part 1a, Salsa Verde
Our blog specials are back with a series on whole grains! But before grains, I want to talk about salsa verde – or green salsa. Salsa verde is made from tomatillos and contains similar ingredients to tomato salsas. Tomatillos are small, green fruits with a tart taste. You will find them covered in a papery husk that peels away easily. They are different from g...
