Abstract
Amaranth is a multifunctional culture that surpasses many others by the amount of high-grade protein, vitamins, macro-and microelements from a unit of sown area. Amaranth grains (mature seeds) contain 14-18% of protein, up to 8% of oil, about 7% of N-free extractives and up to 4% of ash. It is used as dietary cereal, for the production of baby food, medical products, in the bakery and confectionery industries, as well as in feed production. Amaranth protein in its amino-acid composition approaches the ideal protein. Amaranth protein concentrates are not inferior to soy ones. Leaves of amaranth of vegetable cultivars are used for preparing salads, soups, fried, baked, boiled and dried food products. The green mass of amaranth is a valuable feed for pigs, cattle and other animals rich in proteins and vitamins.
