Uncooked macaroni is a popular type of dried pasta made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water. With roots in Italian cuisine, it has evolved into a global culinary staple, particularly known for its tubular shape and versatility. Rich in complex carbohydrates, macaroni is a valuable source of energy, making it a common choice for hearty meals. It contains protein and some essential nutrients like B vitamins and iron, but is relatively low in fiber unless enriched or made with whole wheat. While macaroni is low in fat and cholesterol, its nutritional profile depends heavily on preparation methods and accompaniments such as cheese or creamy sauces, which can add significant calories and saturated fats. Choosing whole wheat or vegetable-infused versions can enhance its health benefits. Uncooked macaroni is shelf-stable, easy to store, and ideal for creating comforting dishes from casseroles to cold pasta salads.
