Abstract

A few decades ago, the extremely promising plant genus amaranthus was identified as having the potential to provide exceptional protein, unsaturated oil, and a number of other health benefits. Only three of the 60–70 Amaranthaceae species produce grain, and Amaranthus cruentus is one of them. Its distinctive chemical composition makes it stand out Amaranthus is a highly promising plant genus that has recently come to light. It may provide exceptional protein, unsaturated oil, and a number of other health benefits. This in-depth analysis focuses on topics including chemical makeup, nutritional content, and taxonomy categorization.

Keywords: Amaranthus cruentus, Seeds, Chemical composition.
