Vitamin E isomers are important antioxidants, but their variation is poorly documented in pseduocereal grains such as amaranths. Using normal‐phase, high‐performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection, seeds of thirteen amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.,A. hypochondriacus L.) accession...
