FIELD: fat and oil industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the fat and oil industry. Amaranth seeds processing method with preservation of the starchy perisperm body envisages separation of amaranth seed germs from their starchy perisperm. For separation of germs of amaranth seeds from their starchy perisperm cutting of germs cutting edges of working tool, working tool is horizontal rotating disc, on upper surface of which there are cutting edges, which are made on recesses or on ledges on outer surface of disc. Whole amaranth seeds are supplied to the surface of the rotating disc with cutting edges from above its center, and the turned seeds in the form of an starchy perisperm and the separated germs are taken along the periphery of the horizontal rotary disc for separation, wherein amaranth seed germs are cut from their starchy perisperm by cutting edges of the working tool in an inert gas medium.
