Heart to Hearth Cookery

Drying Amaranth

During July, I processed and water winnowed amaranth.  (See my category list to the right of this blog for earlier posts on amaranth)  Prior to storage for future use, I dried the amaranth thoroughly this weekend on my drying rack.  What is in my wood bowl on the drying rack is one-third of my total production.  This process is like collecting cattail pollen where many hands are needed for a significant harvest!
