DCN Tip
You can puff amaranth seeds at home in a hot dry pan.
Carry the dry puffed amaranth and the salad separately to work. Mix them whenever you feel the hunger pangs in between the meals. You have an instant, healthy snack at hand. This also ensures that the grains do not become soggy which happens when they are pre-mixed with cut vegetables and fruits for long hours.
