Amaranth and amaranth-based foods can be excellent choices for an Autistic diet. Amaranth is gluten-free and most of NU-WORLD FOODS amaranth products are casein-free as well. Additionally, amaranth has been named one of the best sources of vegetable protein by The National Academy of Sciences. Since milk is such an important source of protein, amaranth’s high level of calcium and protein, make it is an excellent source of these essential nutrients as well.
