Our premium Amaranth Seed Oil is meticulously extracted using advanced Supercritical CO₂ extraction to preserve its potent bioactives. Sourced from the nutrient-rich seeds of Amaranthus caudatus, this oil is exceptionally rich in natural Tocopherols and Tocotrienols (Vitamin E complex), Phytosterols, Carotenoids, and most notably, Squalene—a vital lipid naturally found in human skin.
With a history spanning over 8,000 years, Amaranth was a cornerstone in the culinary, medicinal, and spiritual life of the ancient Aztecs. Today, this powerhouse plant continues to be prized worldwide. Just one plant can produce up to 160,000 seeds, which are used to create both its nutrient-dense oil and its naturally gluten-free flour, ideal for individuals with gluten intolerance or Celiac Disease.
