About Pastina
Pastina, derived from Italian cuisine, refers to tiny star-shaped or granular pasta commonly used in soups or as a comfort food. Made from durum wheat semolina or enriched flour, Pastina is often served simply with butter, grated cheese, or light broths, making it a quick and versatile dish. While its small size makes it ideal for children and individuals seeking easy-to-digest meals, its nutritional profile depends on preparation. Pastina is a source of carbohydrates, providing energy, but is relatively low in protein and fiber compared to whole-grain alternatives. When enriched, it contains added vitamins like B1 and iron, though it may lack essential nutrients found in less processed grains. Traditional recipes using minimal butter or cheese keep its fat content moderate, but richer additions may increase calories. Perfect for comforting meals and mild flavors, Pastina remains a nostalgic staple with simple, customizable nutrition.
