Amaranth & Quinoa

I tried amaranth for the first time tonight.  I like it.  I had quinoa the other night and fried it until it popped and thought, "What is this?" there was this fragrant aftertaste..and then I realized, it was amaretto!  It was a faint amaretto flavor and for a grain, I was suprised.  Then tonight I tried amaranth but I had lasanga planned or shells with sauce and stuff so I didn't have to bake.

I ate cookies first though.  Grasshopper ones (mint with chocolate).

Anyway, the amaranth I like more than quinoa for the texture.  I don't know if amaranth gives a flavor though.

I had it with sesame seeds and spinach and plain (the amaranth).
