Seen a different rating somewhere else?+
Usually it's a portion difference, not a disagreement. This page scores amaranth at a serving of 1/2 cup cooked (about 125g); at 1 cup or more cooked (250g+) it belongs in the high band. A source quoting the larger serve will call it high, and one quoting the smaller will call it low — the same food, measured at two different amounts.
