Description
Amaranth belongs among pseudo-cereals, which means that it does not belong to cereal grass but its use in the kitchen is the same. Grain and from the grain grounded flour are used mainly in the food-processing industry, and so are the leaves. Sometimes it is also used as a feed in agriculture. The plant, which amaranth is derived from, is called Amaranthus. It was grown in Central America by the Aztecs and Incas already 4,000 BC. Today, amaranth is predominantly cultivated in the tropics, where the grain is harvested up to three times a year. One grain has very small dimensions and weight.
Corn is a plant of that can grow up to six meters. It originally comes from the South America, where it has been grown for over 5,000 years. Corn has spread to Europe with Columbus from local Indians. Today, corn is - after wheat and rice - the most cultivated cereal in the world. In Bohemia we can find it in the fields of South Moravia.
Corn is also used as a feed, as an ingredient for the production of sugar, oil and starch. Some corn species are grown as vegetables. In the food industry, corn is used for the production of corn flakes, flour, corn meal or porridge. Corn is a valuable source of food especially in developing countries.
