About Wheat pasta
Wheat pasta, a staple of Italian cuisine, is made primarily from durum wheat semolina, water, and sometimes eggs. Its golden hue and firm texture make it a versatile base for countless sauces and dishes. Whole wheat pasta, in particular, is a nutritionally dense variation, containing the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat grain. It’s a good source of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients like magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins. The high fiber content promotes digestive health and provides longer-lasting energy compared to refined pasta. However, white wheat pasta, made from refined flour, lacks the fiber and some nutrients found in the whole wheat version, making it less beneficial for blood sugar management. Both types are low in fat and can be part of a balanced diet when paired with nutrient-rich toppings like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats.
