Meet Amaranth, the new superfood you’ll want on your plate to keep your body healthy for the season ahead. Amaranth is gluten-free and high in fiber, protein and micronutrients. Grown in India, the red Amaranth leaves ‘tambdi bhaji’ are said to be a powerhouse of iron, vitamins and minerals and a known anti-inflammatory used to help lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Amaranth is recommended for creating high-protein nutritional meals such as Chef Kundan’s ‘Amaranth and Walnut Salad’ complimented with Joshua Mendes (Karma Royal Haathi Mahal’s barman) ‘Amaranth Gin Fizz’ and ‘Spiced Earl Grey Tea’.
