Sprouted amaranth.
ln the jar it is a beautiful pink/red, typical of desert weeds (photo doesn't do it's beautiful colour justice). Soaked it for 4 hours and sprouted for three days. lt started turning pink on the second day and turned really pink on the third day. l find it much nicer to eat than quinoa and it keeps far better in my experience (no easy spoilage like with quinoa). Thre nutritional profile is simply staggering, one of the most amazing of all. lt was imported from Mexico to Australia.
The grain is really small (poppy seed size) and can fall through the usual gauze wire used for sprouting jars, so when you drain it be careful.
lt doesn't get any better than this:
