The short answer
A pseudograin providing fiber, protein, magnesium, iron, and manganese.
- Evidence and scope
- Food context; study findings do not grade the whole food.
- Important limitation
- Whole-grain cohorts and randomized replacement trials support the food group; evidence rarely proves that this grain is superior to other intact whole grains.
- Before deciding
- Check that the product is actually whole grain. Wheat, rye, and barley contain gluten and are not appropriate for celiac disease.
01 / NUTRIENTS & FORM
Nutrient snapshot
The exact food form matters. Raw, cooked, drained, dried, fortified, and branded versions can have meaningfully different values.
A pseudograin providing fiber, protein, magnesium, iron, and manganese.
We have not assigned a specific composition record to this food yet. Values will appear only after the food description, preparation state, edible portion, and serving weight are verified.
How nutrient values will be verified
- Planned display basis
- Practical serving and per 100 g
- Planned nutrient fields
- Energy, protein, carbohydrate, fiber, fat, sodium, and the most relevant micronutrients
- Publication rule
- Show the database, record ID, food form, serving weight, and verification date

Evidence map: baseline and emerging signals
The current baseline stays visually separate from credible findings that are mechanistic, responder-dependent, small, or not yet replicated.
The general interpretation that does not depend on one unreplicated positive result. An established limitation is as important as an established benefit.
Maize porridge enriched with a micronutrient powder containing low-dose iron as NaFeEDTA but not amaranth grain flour reduces anemia and iron deficiency in Kenyan preschool children.
The main tested claim was not supported, or the review judged the evidence insufficient. Secondary or subgroup signals should not replace that result.
- Study design
- Randomized controlled trial
- Tested form / scope
- Combined intervention
- Editorial interpretation
- Whole-grain cohorts and randomized replacement trials support the food group; evidence rarely proves that this grain is superior to other intact whole grains.
- Screening record
- One relevant human PubMed source was verified and classified. This is a source card, not a complete evidence synthesis or a count of favorable studies.
