How to use amaranth seed oil
Use it cold or add after cooking. Drizzle over salads, cooked grains, porridge and roasted vegetables, stir a spoonful into smoothies or yoghurt, or finish soups and grain bowls just before serving. Its gentle nutty note suits everyday dishes without overpowering them. A little goes a long way: start with a teaspoon and taste as you go.
Why cold pressed and unrefined?
Cold pressing extracts the oil mechanically, without heat or solvents, so its delicate flavour and natural character stay intact. Refined oils are heated and stripped to make them neutral; unrefined oils keep the taste of the seed they came from. New to unrefined oils? Read our guide: What Is Cold Pressed Oil?
How to store amaranth oil
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark cupboard, away from the hob and direct sunlight. Once opened, storing it in the fridge helps keep it fresh; the oil may thicken slightly when cold, which is normal and reverses at room temperature. As with any unrefined oil, treat it as a fresh ingredient and check the best-before date.
Frequently asked questions
What does amaranth oil taste like? Mild, warm and nutty, with a gentle earthy note — subtler than walnut or pumpkin seed oil, which makes it an easy first speciality oil.
Can you cook with amaranth oil? It is best used cold or added to finished dishes; high heat dulls its delicate character. Use it as a finishing oil rather than a frying oil.
Is amaranth oil the same as amaranth flour or seeds? No — this is the oil pressed from the seeds, not the ground grain. It carries the flavour rather than the texture.
Does amaranth oil need refrigerating? Not before opening. After opening, the fridge helps keep it fresh for longer.
Explore the range: try cold pressed camelina seed oil for a mild everyday drizzle, or pumpkin seed oil for a bolder, nuttier flavour.
