Our research notes
What to know before you choose this pasta
The maker’s published label lists 4 ingredients, led by chickpeas, pea starch and tapioca. None of the additive groups we check appear on the recorded label, and no added sugars or flavors stand out. The maker describes it as vegan; these are the maker’s statements, so look for the certifier’s seal on the package. For pasta, the comparison that matters most is base ingredient: semolina, whole wheat, chickpeas, lentils and rice each lead to different texture and nutrition.
