Filter out sand from amaranth and teff

I'm having sand in the cooked amaranth and teff if the package has some in it. Is there a way, how to filter it out before cooking it? Or I just need to find a proper brand?

Best Answer

If the sand is significantly smaller than the grains, rinse the grain in an appropriately sized sieve. If the sand is denser than the grain, perhaps the grain would float and the sand would sink in a large amount of water?

If neither of those ideas work, then you may need to find another brand.

How do you clean amaranth seeds?

Amaranth, like most seeds, nuts, and grains, does contain some phytic acid, a phosphorus storage molecule that can bind to many minerals and keep us from digesting and using these vital nutrients. It is always better to soak, ferment, or sprout seeds and grains before cooking them to neutralize most of the phytic acid.

Does amaranth have phytic acid?

Does the amaranth have to be rinsed? BEST ANSWER: You can rinse the Amaranth if you prefer, but it is not required. The grains are very small so you may need to use cheesecloth or similar to drain. We hope you enjoy the amaranth if you try it!
