Amaranth oil is not yet so well known, but meanwhile its unique composition gave the plant the name "bestower of immortality". It is made from amaranth seeds. The plant was known for its healing properties since the time of the ancient Incas. In Europe, its healing properties were not immediately discussed; the plant was forgotten for many years. Once again, the discovery of the beneficial properties of amaranth oil allowed the discovery in its composition unique biological compound squalene.

Until recently, mining squalene has been a difficult and costly task. It was extracted from the liver of a shark. The squalene contained in amaranth oil is not inferior in its beneficial properties to a substance of animal origin.

Amaranth oil: useful properties for your beauty and youth

The plant has served man for more than eight thousand years. Bread was baked from it, pasta and baby food were made from it, the stems and leaves were used as pet food. But it has found its main application in folk medicine.

The composition of the oil includes various useful elements.

1. Squalene- a substance that contributes to the saturation of tissues with oxygen, prevents oxidative processes in the body, stimulates the production of vitamin D. After 25 years, the natural level of squalene in the body begins to decline inexorably, and the body gradually ages. Renewal of the required amount of squalene allows a person to maintain youthfulness and beauty of the skin, increase the body's defenses, and improve overall well-being.
2. Vitamin E. It is also found in other vegetable oils, but nowhere does its concentration reach such a high level as in amaranth oil. A sufficient amount of vitamin E protects against the appearance of malignant tumors, increases efficiency, improves vision, and slows down the aging process.
3. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. They protect the heart and blood vessels, strengthen bone tissue, support the functioning of the nervous system, improve appearance hair and nails.
4. Caratonoids. These elements turn into vitamin A, which is rightly called the vitamin of youth. With it, there will be no problems with withering and flabbiness of the skin, tooth decay, thinning and brittle nails.
5. VitaminD. This is the main necessary element for the successful absorption of calcium. Without it, beautiful nails and strong teeth are impossible, as well as the successful work of the immune and endocrine systems.
6. Phospholipids. Elements to support natural metabolism and stabilize blood sugar levels.
7. Sterols. The intake of amaranth oil will be of interest to athletes taking various chemical additives for building muscle mass and the formation of relief muscles. The product will be an excellent alternative to synthetic anabolic drugs, which often cause side effects.
8. Calcium. There is hardly a person who doubts the need for this extremely important element for the body. It is necessary at any age: in childhood for the formation of bones, during pregnancy for the proper development of the unborn child, in old age for the normal state of the bone muscular system.

All the beneficial substances contained in amaranth oil are absorbed much faster than similar synthetic supplements in the form of tablets or capsules. In addition, useful properties make it possible to use it for external use.

Amaranth oil is one of the most generous gifts to humanity from mother nature. The use of the product in many fields of medicine, cosmetology and cooking allows you to successfully fight many chronic diseases and restore vigor, energy and efficiency to the body.

The birthplace of amaranth, which is one of the oldest grain crops on Earth, is considered to be Central and South America. Before the discovery of America by Columbus, amaranth seeds and green leaves, along with maize and beans, were the main food of the ancient Indian tribes (which is why this plant also received other names - "sent by God", "Aztec wheat" and "Inca bread"). Among the ancient Greeks, amaranth was considered a symbol of immortality (translated from Greek, amaranth means "unfading flower"), and in ancient Chinese medicine, this plant was used as a means of giving youth and longevity.

The Aztecs, who have long revered the sacred and magical power of amaranth, widely used this plant in ritual ceremonies, ate it to increase vitality and physical endurance, strengthen the body and spirit.

Currently, more than 90 varieties of amaranth are grown in America, Asia and Africa. In our country, amaranth was known for a long time only as a garden weed - amaranth. But in recent decades, special cultivation of decorative, food and fodder varieties of amaranth has become quite widespread in Russia.

Due to its high nutritional value, unique therapeutic and prophylactic properties and high yield, amaranth is recognized by experts from the UN Food Commission as the most promising grain crop of the 21st century.

Processing products of amaranth seeds are quite diverse - these are amaranth oil, amaranth flour, starch and cereals, as well as the substances lysine and squalene obtained from this plant, which find the most wide application in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Seeds and flour of amaranth in cooking in many countries of the world are most often used in the manufacture of various confectionery and bakery products, are used in canning vegetables, and are also used as a nutritious vitamin and protein supplement for various vegetarian and dietary dishes. Amaranth leaves also find wide culinary use - they are most often added to salads, casseroles and omelettes.

Rich in vegetable protein and biologically active substances, amaranth greens and silage prepared from it have long been successfully used in the production of valuable, ecologically clean agricultural fodder.

The composition of amaranth oil

High-quality and most valuable in terms of its useful properties, amaranth oil is obtained by cold pressing (pressing) crushed amaranth seed (amaranth seeds contain at least 10% of this vegetable oil, unique in its biochemical composition and therapeutic and prophylactic effect).

The composition of amaranth oil contains: more than 70% mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids(linoleic (Omega-6), oleic (Omega-9), linolenic (Omega-3), arachidonic, palmitoleic acids, etc.), over 9% phospholipids(in which phosphatidylcholine dominates in quantity), squalene (more than 8%), about 2% vitamin E, phytosterols (more than 2%), carotenoids (vitamin A precursors), vitamin D, bile acids, various macro- and microelements (microelements (potassium, iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, copper, etc.).

The unique healing properties of amaranth oil are largely determined by the presence in its composition of two powerful antioxidants - squalene and vitamin E (contained in amaranth oil in a rare, especially active tocotrienol form).

Part of the sebaceous glands and subcutaneous fat squalene is an important participant in the synthesis of steroid hormones, cholesterol and vitamin D in the human body. The squalene contained in amaranth oil actively contributes to the saturation of organs and tissues with oxygen, has a powerful antitumor and anticarcinogenic effect, and also significantly increases the resistance of the human body to various viral, fungal, bacterial infections and exposure to harmful radiation. Interfering with the development and spread of malignant tumors, activating metabolic processes squalene also contributes to the rapid and effective restoration of damaged areas of the skin and mucous membranes (due to the pronounced wound healing property of squalene, amaranth oil containing it has been very popular in folk medicine around the world for many centuries).

vitamin E, just as squalene prevents premature aging of the human body and helps strengthen the immune system, and in addition, it has an anti-inflammatory property and has a complex beneficial effect on the functioning of the cardiovascular system (reduces cholesterol levels in the blood and prevents the formation of blood clots, strengthens the walls of blood vessels and contributes to the normalization blood pressure). Vitamin E contained in amaranth oil, in addition, improves the functional state of the muscular system and plays an important role in the functioning of the human reproductive system (participates in the processes of spermatogenesis and embryonic development, helps maintain normal hormonal balance).

The high nutritional value of amaranth oil is also determined by its constituent polyunsaturated fatty acids, among which the leading position is occupied by the essential polyunsaturated linoleic acid(the share of this Omega-6 acid in the fatty acid composition of amaranth oil is more than 50%). Linoleic acid, like other unsaturated acids in amaranth oil, improves fat metabolism, has anti-inflammatory and immunostimulating effects, improves skin condition, improves the functioning of the cardiovascular, digestive, nervous, reproductive and endocrine systems, and also plays an important role in cleansing the human body from toxins, salts of heavy metals and other harmful substances.

Amaranth oil contains carotenoids, which are converted in the human body into fat-soluble vitamin A, which, like squalene, is involved in the synthesis of steroid hormones and largely determines the wound healing and immunostimulating effect of amaranth oil. Necessary for eye health, the full formation of bone tissue and tooth enamel, vitamin A takes part in the natural synthesis of keratin and collagen fibrillar proteins (which are structural components of the skin, hair and nails), normalizes the secretion of the sebaceous glands, regulates blood glucose, and also plays an important role in the reproductive system.

Part of amaranth oil vitamin D helps to strengthen the immune system, improves the absorption of calcium and phosphorus by the human body, which are necessary for the formation and restoration of bone tissue, and also reduces the risk of developing certain oncological, cardiovascular, endocrine and dermatological diseases.

The anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, antitumor and immunostimulating properties of amaranth oil are also largely due to the high content of amaranth oil in the composition. phytosterols, which help to reduce the content of "bad" cholesterol in the blood, prevent the development of type II diabetes mellitus and play an important role in the synthesis of vitamin D, hormones and bile acids by the human body.

By content calcium, iron, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium amaranth oil is significantly superior to whole milk (moreover, calcium and iron in amaranth oil are more than 3 times more than in wheat grain). You can learn more about the benefits of these macronutrients for the human body in the articles "Amaranth flour", "Pumpkin oil", "Balm for the heart and blood vessels "Shuster".

This plant has been the main crop of South America for more than 8 millennia, and the ancient Aztecs considered it sacred and used it in their magical rituals. And today, in southeastern and western countries, pasta, buns are produced from its seeds, they are added to baby food, and in Russia amaranth oil is most often used.

The benefits of amaranth oil have not been fully studied - pharmacists continue their research to this day, improving the methods of its production every year. During the examinations, it turned out that amaranth contains a special hydrocarbon squalene, a powerful antioxidant, and in such a high concentration it is not found in any plant. And the content of the unique lysine amino acid in amaranth is twice as high as in wheat.

History of amaranth oil

Amaranth in many parts of our planet is known as the "find of the twentieth century." He will receive a second birth around the seventies of the last century. Its roots can be traced very far - in the depths of millennia. Various sources say that his birth dates back as far as 4-6 millennium BC.

South America can rightly be considered the birthplace of this amazing plant. Its history is very rich and dramatic.

Even in those distant ancient times, people already used amaranth for their own benefit. Amaranth leaves were used for food, but its seeds were generally considered the "golden grain of the gods." The ancient tribes of the Maya, Incas and Aztecs, from babies to adult warriors, used it as a staple food along with corn and beans. Even then, people knew and successfully used it in the treatment of many ailments.

For many, it is not news that the Indians have always been considered almost magicians, using the pantry of nature to one hundred percent. They believed that amaranth, in addition to strengthening the spirit and body, also, when used daily, has a truly wonderful and amazing property - it is able to create people with almost unlimited possibilities.

Once upon a time, the last Aztec emperor accepted amaranth seeds as tribute. At that time, they were valued on a par with gold, people used them as a payment document, just like we have money now.

Moreover, amaranth in those days was considered a sacred plant, the Indians used it in their rituals. It was this fact that caused the plant to be forgotten and lost for many centuries, unlike beans and corn, which successfully migrated from the New World to the Old. The conquistadors forbade the cultivation and cultivation of amaranth, use it for food. They were not even allowed to save its seeds. However, the conquistadors did not take into account that amaranth perfectly “propagates” by self-sowing. The name he received from the Greek "amaranthos", which means - immortal.

Academician N.I. Vavilov in the thirties of the last century, while studying the flora of South America, came across and became very interested in amaranth, actively promoted it in Russia, but after his arrest in 1940 and death 3 years later, this amazing plant was forgotten again.

Cultivation of Amaranth

The sharply increased popularity of amaranth is due to American scientists. They found that it belongs to plants with a special type of photosynthesis, which explained its enormous productivity.

Abroad, amaranth was highly appreciated by specialists in baby food and nutritionists. That's how he got his second birth. It is now increasingly referred to as "the culture of the present and the future." And, I must say, by right - high yield, nutritional value and dietary properties.

Amaranth has not bypassed Russia with its popularity either, at the moment it is massively cultivated in the Belgorod and Voronezh regions, in the south of Siberia and in the Volga region. Many well-known doctors of St. Petersburg conducted research and studied the pharmaceutical properties of amaranth. They have proven the clinical effectiveness of this plant. The study of amaranth in scientific centers Russia and the introduction of its derivatives into the industry is in full swing. Well, its scope is the most diverse - from the confectionery and baking to the pharmaceutical and perfumery and cosmetic industries. But not only people use it for food. It makes very nutritious animal feed.

Yes, there is industry. Amaranth is increasingly found in flower beds and gardens of Russians. It should be noted that in itself it is very diverse: it can be low (the so-called border varieties), and it can also be a real giant, reaching two meters in height. Amaranth has excellent decorative qualities: pyramid-shaped bushes, emerald green leaves and huge lush paniculate inflorescences of the most diverse colors - from white to maroon (almost black). Well, it grows from July almost until the frost.

But amaranth flour is an excellent ingredient for baking, desserts and sauces.

The greatest value is such a product from it as amaranth oil.
