Brand Spotlight: I am(aranth)
I am(aranth) makes snacks out of organic, locally grown Amaranth seeds. Their products are gluten free, vegan, and best of all, great tasting. Amaranth is a superseed which dates back to the Aztecs, who believed it was a symbol of “enduring strength”. Hellen and her family grew up eating ALEGRIAS, a traditional Mexican amaranth-based bar. Today, I am(aranth) makes snacks to satisfy any craving, from Chipotle and Himalayan Salt Amaranth Sticks to Vegan Brownies.
