Amaranth
Please check back later for additional changes
Amaranth is a pseudocereal that can be used as partial replacements for malt in the production of new beers. It is of interest due to its high levels of nutrients and micronutrients, including minerals which can significantly improve the performance of brewing yeast and the fermentation rate.[1] For example, amaranth is a richer source of zinc and magnesium than barley.
