What are the common ways to eat amaranth and what are the taboos of eating it?

Summer is a good season to eat amaranth, and it is a favorite on the weight loss table. Amaranth can not only clear away internal heat. Amaranth was originally a wild vegetable, and many people call it "longevity vegetable". Many people love it, so steaming or stir-frying are good choices.
