things people ask

• Why does my cup of amaranth flour weigh more than 103 g?
  Amaranth grains are tiny and the flour mills very fine, so it settles tightly in the bag and clumps slightly from its natural oil content. If you dip the cup, you compress those clumps and trap less air than you would with wheat flour. Stir the bag, spoon it into the cup, then sweep level with a straight edge — that is how the 103 g King Arthur figure was measured, and how most gluten-free recipe developers calibrate.
• Can I swap a cup of wheat flour for a cup of amaranth flour?
  Not one-for-one in most baked goods. A cup of amaranth is roughly 103 g versus 120 g for all-purpose, and amaranth has no gluten plus a strong earthy, malty flavor. In yeast breads, cap it around 25% of the total flour by weight; in pancakes, muffins, and flatbreads it can go higher. For cookies and quickbreads, start by replacing a quarter cup per cup and adjust liquid down slightly since amaranth absorbs less water than wheat.
• How should I store amaranth flour bought by the cup or pound?
  Amaranth is high in oil and goes rancid faster than wheat flour, especially once milled. Keep it sealed in the fridge for up to three months or the freezer for six. Pull out what you need an hour before baking so it comes to room temperature — cold flour can shock a sourdough starter or seize butter when you cream it. Smell before using; rancid amaranth has a sharp, paint-like edge.
