Amaranth
Amaranth is a very nutritious food. Its folic acid content is very high, and it is also a good source of various minerals, including manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron.
One cup of cooked amaranth grain contains 116 mg of calcium or 9 percent of the daily value. Cooked amaranth leaves contain even more, with 21 percent of the daily value for calcium per cup of cooked grain (132 grams), along with a large amount of vitamins A and C.
