Good suggestion Katrina. I have never eaten Amaranth but it is gluten free and relatively high in protein and fibre, although the glycaemic index (GI) is high.
Does anyone have any amaranth recipes we could try? I promise to post the result, good or bad!!

The standards for being organic mean that it mustn’t contain GM ingredients but doesn’t mean to say if not organic then must be GM – e.g using pesticides / fertilisers = not organic but not GM.
There is a nice little summary from foods standards agency here: http://www.food.gov.uk/gmfoods/gm/gm_labelling

Dietary Specials do a Brown Multigrain Loaf which is high in fibre but also a source of folic acid and calcium and is sold in Sainsburys and Asda, Coop and Somerfield
