Intercultural Garden Kiel
Learning from each other
What advantages does amaranth have over other crops? And: How is amaranth actually prepared?
These and other questions are answered in the Intercultural Garden in Kiel. Nicoline Henkel, head of the steering group of the environmental protection office of the state capital of Kiel, and Angela Schulze-Hamann, head of the cooking school in Blunk, are developing a training concept and recipes. The many different ways in which amaranth can be prepared will be presented in joint cooking events.
Amaranth is ideal for making herb quark, for example. Bread and amaranth bars are other preparation options.
Participants from Germany and Tanzania regularly meet online to learn from each other. This exchange of experiences serves to share knowledge on how to prepare tasty and healthy dishes on a small budget that are also climate-friendly and GMO-free.
Cooking with adults and children
On June 13, adults and children cooked in the Intercultural Garden in perfect summer weather.
The participants prepared a summery salad with amaranth. And for dessert, there was chocolate with amaranth.
Everyone involved was enthusiastic about the campaign and very interested in the recipes.
