Import Amaranth — Buy in Bulk from Supplier in Canada

BMD Materials supplies amaranth, an ancient pseudocereal grain with a protein content of 13 - 14 %, making it one of the highest among plant-based grains. The grain is gluten-free, rich in lysine and offers a complete amino acid profile when combined with other cereals. It also contains antioxidants, vitamins (A, C, E) and minerals such as iron and magnesium, supporting immune function and metabolic health.

As a grain, amaranth is typically available in whole seed, puffed or flour form, with a standard 1000-seed weight of 0.6 - 0.9 g and a bulk density of 700 - 750 kg/m³. The seed’s small size (1.0 - 1.5 mm diameter) and round shape lend itself to popping or milling, while its typical moisture content at harvest is 10 - 12 %, reduced to 8 - 10 % for storage. Amaranth is also known for its high squalene content, a lipid with antioxidant properties.

This grain is used in cereals, snack bars, baked goods and as a rice substitute, with applications spanning gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan diets. BMD Materials offers bulk supply for industrial buyers, with the grain sourced from Canadian growers to meet export-quality standards. Buyers should confirm the grain’s origin, cleaning process and any residual pesticide levels to comply with import regulations.
