Grain Amaranth

  • Chapter
Pseudocereals and Less Common Cereals

Abstract

In recent years pseudocereals and alternative cereals have been attracting increased interest, both from the agricultural point of view and from aspects regarding processing. The reasons are to be found in the endeavor to re-extend the range of starch-rich seeds in human nutrition, because from a world-wide perspective cereal use is increasingly restricted to the cereals wheat, rice, and maize. The disadvantages of such a situation for agriculture and nutrition are obvious.
