Amaranth Seed flour

Currently, the section says that the sample doughs were "pan-proved." However, I spend several years working in various bakeries and the term is "proofed," not "proved." I wanted to put a note here so that anybody who checks my edit will know why I did it, and that I do know what I'm writing about.JDZeff (talk) 23:00, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

History

"After the Spanish conquest, cultivation of amaranth was outlawed" what's the reference for this assertion?

"Huitzilopochtli, whose name means "hummingbird of the left side" or "left-handed hummingbird". (Real hummingbirds feed on amaranth flowers)" Huitzilopochtli was the God of war and the meaning of its name is still subject of discussion. Please give reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AntonioCabo (talk • contribs) 23:07, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nutritional value

Second paragraph: "[...] they are also a complementing source of other vitamins [...]" and in another line too. Does "complementing" = "good" or "complete"??? if so, why not put the clear and simple word "good"? If they mean "complement", what do they complement??

Sorry if my confusion is caused by a lack of nutrition vocabulary.

Excuse me for piggy-backing but I have a nutritional comment too.

Niacin (B3) (6%) 0.923 mg

This means Wikipedia says the rda of niacin is over 6 grams per day! Where are the studies to validate this. AFAIK that is off by a factor 6 or more.

Why does "tampala" redirect here?
