This is a solid choice for a whole grain pasta. The ingredient list is admirably simple - just organic whole durum wheat flour. The fiber content (6g per serving) is excellent, representing 21% of daily needs, and the carb-to-fiber ratio is good at about 6.6:1. The 7g of protein per serving is decent for pasta.
Key Benefits:
- High fiber content (6g) which helps manage blood sugar response and supports digestive health
- Clean ingredient list with no additives or preservatives
- Good protein content for a grain-based product
No major concerns with ingredients or nutrition profile. However, like all pasta products, this is still a relatively high-carb food (40g per serving) that can impact blood sugar, especially in larger portions.
Serving advice: Keep portions to the suggested 2/3 cup serving size. Pair with protein (like lean meat or legumes) and vegetables to create a balanced meal that will slow down carbohydrate absorption. If you're looking for even lower-carb alternatives, consider legume-based pastas (like chickpea or lentil pasta) which typically offer more protein and fewer net carbs while maintaining the pasta experience.
