PICK-A-PASTA
America’s most popular pasta,
spaghetti, has become heartier,
more colorful, and more
healthful. As you sample the
variety of grains in these flavorful
strands, here’s what you need to
know to be spaghetti-savvy.
Pasta is traditionally made with
coarsely ground durum wheat
flour, or semolina, and a liquid,
usually water. In the U.S.,
because the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) requires
that pasta be enriched with iron,
folic acid, and B vitamins, the
food is labeled “Enriched
Macaroni Product.”
Some pasta makers substitute or
incorporate additional grains,
such as whole wheat, ground
lentils, chickpeas, and flax seeds
in their products; these foods are
labeled “multigrain.” Read
package ingredient lists to
determine which grains were
used to make the pasta.
Pasta products labeled “whole
grain” can range from 51% to
100% whole grain. Pasta with
50% or less whole grain may be
labeled “made with whole
wheat.” Both multigrain and
whole wheat pastas have chewier
texture than regular pasta.
And if your diet is gluten-free,
you don’t have to give up your
favorite pasta. More and more
companies are producing
high-quality pastas from corn
and rice flours.
