{"product_id":"amaranth-chaulai","title":"Amaranth (Chaulai)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLong before “superfoods” became a modern food trend, \u003cstrong\u003eAmaranth\u003c\/strong\u003e was already finding its way into Indian kitchens. Known widely as \u003cstrong\u003eRajgira\u003c\/strong\u003e and also called \u003cstrong\u003eRamdana\u003c\/strong\u003e in different parts of India, this tiny grain has a special place in Indian food traditions, particularly during \u003cstrong\u003efasting, vrat and festive occasions\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor generations, Rajgira has been used in everything from comforting porridges and traditional sweets to rotis and fasting preparations. Its tiny grains have a naturally nutty flavour and distinctive texture, bringing something different to familiar Indian recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust Organik Organic Amaranth is carefully sourced and processed to bring this traditional grain to your kitchen in its whole-grain form. Amaranth is naturally notable for its \u003cstrong\u003eprotein content and amino acid profile\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its protein contains \u003cstrong\u003eall nine essential amino acids\u003c\/strong\u003e, including lysine, an amino acid found in relatively lower amounts in many common cereal grains. It also naturally provides \u003cstrong\u003edietary fibre, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and other minerals\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts nutritional character is one reason Amaranth has attracted attention far beyond its traditional uses. But its story in India began much earlier — particularly around the foods prepared during \u003cstrong\u003eNavratri, Ekadashi, Mahashivratri and other vrat occasions\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rajgira is commonly paired with ingredients such as \u003cstrong\u003esendha namak, potatoes, ghee, milk and jaggery\u003c\/strong\u003e, depending on the fasting tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond fasting, Amaranth is equally at home in everyday cooking. Cook it with milk or water for a warm \u003cstrong\u003eAmaranth porridge\u003c\/strong\u003e, simmer it into \u003cstrong\u003eRajgira kheer\u003c\/strong\u003e, or use cooked grains in savoury bowls and vegetable preparations. Popped Amaranth can be combined with jaggery to make familiar Indian favourites such as \u003cstrong\u003eRajgira laddoo and chikki\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes Amaranth special is the combination of its nutritional profile and its deep connection with Indian food traditions. A grain valued for generations continues to find its place in modern kitchens, where traditional recipes meet new ways of cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom \u003cstrong\u003eRajgira and Ramdana\u003c\/strong\u003e to porridge, kheer, laddoo, chikki and vrat recipes, Just Organik Organic Amaranth brings this distinctive traditional grain to the Indian kitchen in a simple and versatile form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just Organik","offers":[{"title":"500gm","offer_id":53595859288429,"sku":"CN120","price":185.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1015\/3538\/3917\/files\/Just_Organik_Amranth.png?v=1787551991","url":"https:\/\/www.justorganik.com\/products\/amaranth-chaulai","provider":"JUST ORGANIK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
