About Fregola sarda

Fregola Sarda is a traditional Sardinian pasta made from semolina flour and water, rolled into small, irregular balls and toasted for a distinctive nutty flavor. Known for its rustic texture, it holds its shape well during cooking and is often used in soups, stews, or combined with seafood. Originating in Sardinia, Italy, Fregola reflects the island's culinary heritage. As a carbohydrate-rich food, it provides energy but should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Being made from semolina, it contains some protein and fiber, as well as essential micronutrients such as iron and B vitamins. However, it is not gluten-free, making it unsuitable for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Pairing Fregola with nutrient-rich toppings like vegetables, legumes, or lean proteins can enhance its overall nutritional profile for a wholesome meal.
