The native range of the genus is cosmopolitan.[1] In pre-Hispanic times, amaranth was cultivated by the Aztec and their tributary communities in a quantity very similar to maize.[2] Known to the Aztecs as huāuhtli,[3] amaranth is thought to have represented up to 80% of their energy consumption before the Spanish conquest.[citation needed] Another important use of amaranth throughout Mesoamerica was in ritual drinks and foods. To this day, amaranth grains are toasted much like popcorn and mixed with honey, molasses, or chocolate to make a treat called alegría, meaning "joy" in Spanish.
