'I Am Nutz' is an Organic Peanut Snack Covered with Toasted Amaranth

— February 20, 2020 — Lifestyle
Amaranth is an ancient grain that's often listed alongside buckwheat, chia and quinoa but for the average person, amaranth is still obscure—but I Amaranth's I Am Nutz introduces the ingredient to the US market in a creative way. This naturally gluten-free super-grain is often baked into bars and crisps but I Amaranth offers a different way for people to experience the ingredient with organic peanuts that are covered in toasted organic amaranth.

The salty and spicy nut snacks from I Amaranth are offered in varieties like Chipotle Himalayan Salt and Habanero & Himalayan Salt, which have the potential to appeal to consumers who are looking for an energizing snack that's full of protein—a handful of the travel-friendly bites contains six grams of protein, plus minerals and fiber from the gluten-free grain as well.
