1. What exactly is Amaranth – and why is it a “pseudo – grain?
Amaranth looks and cooks like a grain, but it is not a true cereal grain like wheat, barley or rye. Scientists call it a pseudo – grain because:
• It comes from a broadleaf plant, not a grass species (unlike wheat, barley & rye)
• It is naturally gluten – free
• It is a complete protein – super food – contains all nine essential amino acids
• Amaranth naturally has high lysine amino acid, which makes its protein profile closer to legumes and animal protein
• It behaves like a grain on cooking, baking and milling
Because of this unique structure, Amaranth is more complex than normal grains, especially when it comes to laboratory testing. Normal gluten tests were NOT originally designed or validated to work with Amaranth.

2. Why can Amaranth cause reaction in some people?
Although Amaranth contains no gluten, it contains complex plant protein and some of these proteins may irritate sensitive individuals.
Potential causes of reaction:
• High lysine and albumin content
• Naturally occurring lectins and bioactive compounds
• Allergic sensitivities
These reactions do not involve gluten. They are like how some individuals reacts to chickpea four, quinoa or legumes

3. Why can Amaranth produce a false positive in gluten tests?
This is a very important point.

Most gluten tests – including the ones used by many commercial labs, particularly the R5 Sandwich ELISA – are designed around wheat – type gluten proteins ( wheat gliadin peptides)

The challenge is:
* Amaranth proteins can share surface resemblance to gluten epitopes
• The commonly used R5 Sandwich ELISA test kit can mistake these proteins ( proline/ glutamine motifs) to “look like gluten” . It means the test antibody detected a similar peptide pattern.
• Laboratories must perform matrix validations to check for cross -reactivity
• Without matrix validation, a gluten test may incorrectly detect Amaranth storage proteins and certain peptide fragments that mimic prolamins.
• This leads to false positives or inflated gluten readings
