FSSC 22000 certified, we ensure the careful selection of high-quality amaranth seeds.
Optimised Processing to Preserve Nutrients
Amaranth flour is produced in our specialised workshops.
The grinding of amaranth seeds into fine powder is carried out at controlled temperatures to preserve essential nutrients.
This whole flour retains all the natural benefits of the entire seed.
Particle size can be adapted to your specific needs depending on the intended application.

Monitoring intrinsic product qualities (purity, humidity, energy value, etc.) strengthens our expertise from raw material to finished product.

Characteristics of our natural amaranth flour
✔ Exceptional nutritional profile (complete proteins, lysine, minerals)
Amaranth seeds are rich in complex carbohydrates that provide energy.
Their low fat content (especially in saturated fats), balanced carbohydrate ratio, and high fibre content make them suitable for specific dietary regimes.
Nutritional and energy value: rich in complete proteins, iron, calcium, magnesium, and trace elements such as manganese.
Amaranth is also an excellent source of lysine, an essential amino acid.
Average energy value: approximately 370 kcal per 100 g.
Flanquart’s amaranth flour is crafted to preserve all the nutritional benefits of the original seed.
As a whole flour, it retains all nutrients — unlike refined white wheat flours.
✔ Functional properties for industrial applications
Amaranth flour improves the nutritional quality of formulations and enables gluten-free recipes.
It has a mild roasted flavour reminiscent of hazelnut, with subtle spicy notes depending on origin.
Its techno-functional properties make it suitable for the following applications:
- Bakery: adds a golden tint to the crumb and contributes to soft texture when blended with other flours; ideal as a partial base for speciality breads.
- Biscuits and pastries: thanks to its natural starch, it provides structure and binding properties in shortbreads or muffins; it can also enrich pancake batters.
- Snacking: used in extruded products and energy bars.
- Ice cream and frozen desserts: acts as a natural thickener, adding smoothness to frozen preparations.
- Chocolate and confectionery: serves as a binder in ganaches and fillings, complementing chocolate’s flavour.
- Catering and foodservice: provides water retention in sauces and fillings and acts as a natural emulsifier in prepared dishes.
✔ Optimal Shelf Life and Storage Conditions
To ensure maximum shelf life (several months), amaranth flour should be stored in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture.
These conditions preserve the product’s nutritional and sensory qualities day after day.
Our technical sheets specify detailed storage recommendations, with shelf life depending on the chosen packaging format.

Professional Applications of Amaranth Flour
✔ Gluten-Free Bakery and Premium Pastry Products
Rich in protein and lysine, amaranth flour is an ideal ingredient for premium bread and high-end pastry formulations.
It adds a light golden colour and a mild nutty flavour.
It is also perfect for gluten-free formulations when combined with other alternative flours (chickpea, rice, buckwheat).
It allows the creation of innovative pancake batters, tart bases, or distinctive biscuits.
✔ Sports Nutrition and High-Protein Products
Amaranth shares many properties with cereals but is gluten-free, classifying it among the pseudo-cereals.
Its consumption, often combined with other grains, is recommended in athletic and vegetarian diets.
Its high energy value and complete protein content make it a preferred ingredient for formulations designed for athletes and consumers seeking high-quality plant protein.
✔ Cereal Alternatives and Food Innovation
Amaranth flour provides a distinct nutritional advantage in recipes.
Its inclusion is a strong marketing argument for “superfood”, clean-label, or “better-for-you” product ranges such as bars and snacks.
It serves as an innovative alternative to wheat bases in various dishes — such as savoury pancakes, enriched gratin preparations, fresh pasta, or as a natural thickener in professional kitchens.
