Tumulus History of the Amaranth Grain
The cultivation of amaranth plants dates back for over eight millennia. These seeds were revered by the Ancient Aztecs and used in several of their religious practices. Considering its cultural significance as well as the numerous health benefits of amaranth, it can be surprising to see that this grain has fallen to obscurity and turned into a weed for quite a few centuries.
Spanish conquistadores were the reason of that. In their relentless fight with the native cultures of South America, they literally banned cultivation of amaranth plants because of their role in the spiritual practices of the Aztecs. However, even this couldn’t destroy the precious plant completely and it has continued to grow as a weed.
The search for healthy foods conducted by contemporary scientists has brought amaranth seeds back into the spotlight in the 1970s. As this return is rather recent, it’s quite understandable that this new grain is still fighting to win its place on the healthy foods market.
It’s quite interesting to know that such a tragic history did have an unexpected benefit for the amaranth plant. Due to the lack of cultivation, its genetic makeup has remained almost unchanged.
