[Chemical and nutritional characterization of amaranthus (Amaranthus cruentus)].

Archivos latinoamericanos de nutricion, 1995
Two samples of Amaranthus cruentus harvested in 1987 (sample A) and 1990 (sample B) were studied. Whole and refined flours were obtained. The whole flours contained 14.6 and 12.6% protein and 6.6 and 7.3 ether extraction, respectively. Both samples contained significant levels of Ca, P, Mg and K.
