The reforms of Peter I, among other things, prohibited the cultivation of amaranth and the use of amaranth bread, which was previously the main food of the Russian people, which destroyed the longevity that remained then in Russia (according to legend, the elders lived for a very long time, even the figure of 300 years is mentioned).

Amrita is the drink of the gods, the nectar of immortality, also the herb from which it was made

The word AMARANT. Mara is the goddess of death (among the ancient Rus Slavs and Aryans), and the prefix "A" means negation in the language - for example, moral-immoral, etc., linguists are aware of.

So it turns out that AMARANT literally means one who denies death, or rather, one who grants immortality !!! The word AMRITA - literally we get the same thing - mrita - this is death, the prefix "a" - negation.

In addition to the wonderful culinary properties that Amaranth oil possesses, it contains a number of unique substances, trace elements and vitamins, the benefits of which for the body can hardly be overestimated.

The healing properties of amaranth have been known since ancient times. Amaranth oil is a famous source of squalene

Squalene is a substance that captures oxygen and saturates the tissues and organs of our body with it. Squalene is a powerful anticancer agent that prevents free radicals from damaging cell cancers. In addition, Squalene easily penetrates the skin into the body, affects the entire body and is a powerful immunostimulant.

The unique chemical composition of amaranth has determined the boundlessness of its use as a remedy. The ancient Slavs and Aryans used amaranth to feed newborn children, the warriors took amaranth seeds with them on difficult campaigns as a source of strength and health. Being a real pharmacy, amaranth was used for treatment in ancient Tartary (the land of the Aryans). Currently, amaranth is successfully used in different countries in the treatment of inflammatory processes of the genitourinary system in women and men, hemorrhoids, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, loss of strength, diabetes, obesity, neuroses, various skin diseases and burns, stomatitis, periodontitis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, atherosclerosis. Preparations containing amaranth oil reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood, protect the body from the effects of radioactive radiation, promote the resorption of malignant tumors, thanks to squalene, a unique substance that is part of its composition.

Squalene was first discovered in 1906. Dr. Mitsumaro Tsujimoto from Japan isolated an extract from the liver of a deep-sea shark, which was later identified as squalene (from Latin squalus - shark). From a biochemical and physiological point of view, squalene is a biological compound, a natural unsaturated hydrocarbon. In 1931, Professor of the University of Zurich (Switzerland), Nobel Prize winner Dr. Klaur proved that this compound lacks 12 hydrogen atoms to reach a stable state, so this unsaturated hydrocarbon captures these atoms from any source available to it. And since the most common source of oxygen in the body is water, squalene easily reacts with it, releasing oxygen and saturating organs and tissues with it.

Deep-sea sharks need squalene to survive in extreme hypoxia (low oxygen content) when swimming at great depths. And people need squalene as an anticarcinogenic, antimicrobial and fungicidal agent, since it has long been proven that it is oxygen deficiency and oxidative damage to cells that are the main causes of aging in the body, as well as the emergence and development of tumors. Entering the human body, squalene rejuvenates cells, and also inhibits the growth and spread of malignant tumors. In addition, squalene is able to increase the strength of the body's immune system several times, thereby ensuring its resistance to various diseases.

Until recently, squalene was extracted exclusively from the liver of a deep-sea shark, which made it one of the most highly scarce and expensive foods. But the problem was not only its high cost, but also the fact that there is not so much squalene in the shark liver - only 1-1.5%.

The unique antitumor properties of squalene and such great difficulties in obtaining it forced scientists to intensify the search for the discovery of alternative sources of this substance. Modern research has found the presence of squalene in small doses in olive oil, wheat germ oil, rice bran, yeast. But in the process of the same studies, it turned out that the highest content of squalene in oil is from amaranth grains. It turned out that amaranth oil contains 8-10% squalene! This is several times more than in the liver of a deep-sea shark !.

In the course of biochemical studies of squalene, many of its other interesting properties have been discovered. So, it turned out that squalene is a derivative of vitamin A and during the synthesis of cholesterol it is converted into its biochemical analogue 7-dehydrocholesterol, which becomes vitamin D in sunlight, thereby providing radioprotective properties. In addition, vitamin A is significantly better absorbed when it is dissolved in squalene.

Then squalene was found in the sebaceous glands of a person and caused a whole revolution in cosmetology. After all, being a natural component of human skin (up to 12-14%), it is able to be easily absorbed and penetrate into the body, while accelerating the penetration of substances dissolved in a cosmetic product. In addition, it turned out that squalene in amaranth oil has unique wound healing properties, easily copes with most skin diseases, including eczema, psoriasis, trophic ulcers and burns. If you lubricate the skin area under which the tumor is located with amaranth oil, the radiation dose can be significantly increased without the risk of getting a radiation burn. The use of amaranth oil before and after radiation therapy significantly accelerates the recovery of the patient's body, since getting inside the body, squalene also activates the regenerative processes of the tissues of internal organs.

The healing properties of amaranth have been known since ancient times. In ancient Slavic medicine, amaranth was used as an anti-aging agent. He was also known by the ancient peoples of Central America - the Incas and Aztecs. Among the ancient Etruscans and Greeks, he was a symbol of immortality. Indeed, amaranth inflorescences never wither.

The name of amaranth among the ancient peasants of the Mayans, Aztecs and American Indians - Ki-ak, Bledo, Huatli. The Indian name for amaranth is Ramadana (bestowed by God). Amaranth is a clear confirmation of the truth: the new is the long forgotten old. The plant that fed the population of the American continent for eight thousand years now appears before us in the form of a stranger. We have received some facts about the economic importance of amaranth for the last Aztec empire, ruled by Montezuma in the early 16th century AD. The emperor received 9 thousand tons of amaranth in the form of a tax. Amaranth became an integral part of many ritual actions in which paint made from it was used. Obviously, this was the reason that the Inquisition declared the plant a damn potion, as a result, the Spanish conquistadors literally burned out the crops of Huatli, destroyed the seeds, punished the disobedient with death. As a result, amaranth disappeared from Central America.

European civilization trampled on an alien, unknown culture, often much higher in intelligence. No fear of the conquerors could force the Indian tribes to abandon the cultivation of Huatli. Especially in hard-to-reach mountain villages. And it's not even a matter of linguistic rituals. Maize (corn) crispbread suppressed hunger, but caused intestinal inflammation and pain. The addition of huatli to the dough deprived the peasants of suffering.

It is not surprising that Mexico, the USA, the countries of Central and South America began to cultivate amaranth on large areas

The UN Food Commission for its nutritional and medicinal properties recognized amaranth as a culture of the 21st century

To be honest, I personally know this plant well, but I always thought that it was decorative … What a surprise !!! Amaranth, and even right on my flowerbed !!!

It is good and tasty to make bread and add to soups, especially in mushroom - you will lick your fingers, you will eat from a small plate, as it is very satisfying, but you will not get better from it, but on the contrary there is a feeling of lightness in the body.

But this is a cultivated plant, brought from America by accident with the seeds of other plants back in the 30s of our century. The seeds of amaranth are small, like a poppy, and the height of the plant is over 2 m. And if it grows alone, then one plant occupies an area of almost 1 m. Is it not a miracle that such a luxurious one grows from a small grain in 3.5 months, with a garland precious seeds, reddish or golden giant! The yield of amaranth is fantastic - on fertile lands - up to 2 thousand centners of high-quality green mass and up to 50 centners of seeds per hectare.

Amaranth drought and frost-resistant in the presence of a high agricultural background does not require feeding, and animals eat it completely. He is the record holder for protein content. It is not for nothing that amaranth greens are equated with the most high-calorie seafood - squid meat, because, in addition to protein, the most valuable amino acid for the human body - lysine, it contains 2.5 times more than in wheat, and 3.5 times more than in corn and other high-lysine cereals.

Amaranth is a wonderful food for pets and poultry. If you feed its green mass (up to 25% of other feed), piglets grow 2, 5, and rabbits, nutria and chickens - 2-3 times faster, cows and goats significantly increase milk yield and fat content. The green mass of amaranth is fed to pigs with a small amount of litter, and the animals grow rapidly, gaining up to 60 kg of live weight in 4 months.

A large amount of vitamin C and carotene makes amaranth feed especially valuable and has a good effect on animals and birds, so that they do not get sick.

Amaranth silages well, but it is better to do it in a mixture with corn, sorghum. Since the green mass of corn contains a lot of sugars, and the green mass of amaranth contains a lot of protein, silage from them is much more nutritious than from amaranth itself.

But amaranth is also a wonderful product. It is used in the first and second courses, dried, salted and fermented like cabbage, pickled for the winter, prepared soft drinks that are more expensive than Pepsi and Coca-Cola.

Amaranth oil has the highest price among vegetable oils and animal fats, in all respects it surpasses sea buckthorn oil by 2 times and is used during the complex treatment of radiation sickness, and the germinated seeds are similar in composition to mother's milk.

Scientists have found that amaranth also has effective medicinal properties. Scientists explain this by the fact that especially strong biofields are inherent in amaranth seeds, which determine its miraculous healing properties. Or such a fact. Rickety chickens, after two days of feeding with amaranth remains from seeds (chaff), immediately recovered. And further. All owners of rabbits in the neighborhood had a death rate of animals - both adults and young animals. And those who used amaranth as food did not have a single one.

Amaranth is especially effective for successful beekeeping

Pantry protein, the culture of today and the future - this is what the biologists of the world call this plant. Experts from the UN Food Commission recognized it as a culture that will help provide the growing population of our planet with high-quality protein.
