Ama Cereal and Bars Information
Ama Cereal & Bars
Ama Cereals and Bars are nutrient dense blends of fruits, grains, and seeds. We carefully selected each of the ingredients for their nutritional value and flavor. In doing so, we have made well balanced healthy foods which cover much of the wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals, etc. Amaranth and real Fruit Powders are two of those key ingredients.
Amaranth has a fine balance of amino acids making it an excellent source of high quality, balanced protein, which is more complete than the protein found in most seeds and grains.
The natural Fruit Powders are key contributors to the appealing taste of our products. Through the use of natural flavoring, we do not sacrifice nutrition for taste. In fact, its use increases the nutritional value of our product. The powdered fruit concentrates all of the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes naturally present.

Super Spectrim
It is difficult to get all of the essential nutrients your body needs without eating a little bit of a dozen different foods each sitting. Although Ama Cereal and Bars are not perfect, they provide many more of these nutrients than any other food of which we are aware. To fill in the gaps, we offer Super Spectrim.

Ama-Juice
Our great tasting juices are just as sweet or tart as their fresh counterparts. Like the Ama Cereals & Bars, Ama Juices are nutrient dense. They are made with real Fruit Powders and have added protein and fiber.
As they are dry mixes, they excel in shelf life and portability. A five pound can will last at least twenty years in a cool dark basement. A one pound bag will last at least one year in a kitchen cabinet, and will make one gallon of juice. Its' pre-hydrated weight combined with its nutrient density makes Ama-J ideal for backpacking.

Amaranth
Amaranth is an 8,000 year old crop called the "super food" by the ancient Aztecs. Once an abundant part of the empire's crop base, Amaranth was fed to runners and warriors because of its reputation for providing large bursts of energy and improving athletic performance. The crop was regarded so highly that each year bushels of Amaranth were presented to their leader, Montezuma. Because the crop figured so prominently in Aztec culture and religious ceremonies, the conquering armies of Cortez burned the fields to the ground. As European crops replaced indigenous ones, Amaranth slowly fell out of use. Twenty years ago, the "ancient crop with a future" enjoyed a renaissance when the National Academy of Sciences recommended Amaranth as one of twenty foods to be re-introduced into the American diet.
The main reason for Amaranth's recommended re-introduction is its phenomenal nutritional profile, which provides several important nutrients that are often difficult to incorporate into a restrictive diet. For example, Amaranth contains large amounts of dietary fiber, iron, and calcium as well as other vitamins and minerals. Amaranth also has naturally high amounts of lysine, methionine and cysteine combined with a fine balance of amino acids making it an excellent source of high quality, balanced protein, which is more complete than the protein found in most grains. In addition to Amaranth's outstanding nutritional value, it is also very low in sodium and contains no saturated fat. Another outstanding feature is that our Amaranth is naturally Non-GMO.
Today, research supports what the ancients already knew; Amaranth is an ideal food that packs a lot of value into its tiny seed.
