About Wheat elbows
Wheat elbows are small, curved pasta typically made from durum wheat, a hard variety prized for its high protein and gluten content. Originating from Italian cuisine, they are a staple in global comfort dishes, such as macaroni and cheese or baked casseroles. Made from whole wheat, these elbows are rich in fiber, which supports digestive health and keeps you fuller for longer. They also provide essential nutrients like iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, promoting energy production and overall wellness. Low in fat and cholesterol, wheat elbows align well with heart-healthy diets, though portion control is key to balance their carbohydrate content. Their versatility makes them a nutritious foundation for meals when paired with lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and light sauces. However, for those with gluten sensitivities, alternative options like rice or chickpea-based pasta may be preferable.
