About GLUTEN FREE CORN & RICE BLEND PASTA, CUT CAVATAPPI
Meijer Gluten Free Corn and Rice Blend Pasta in Cut Cavatappi shape is a certified gluten-free pasta sold under the Meijer private label for consumers with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Cavatappi is a tubular corkscrew-shaped pasta that holds sauces well due to its ridged exterior and hollow center.
The ingredient list is minimal: corn flour, rice flour, and mono and diglycerides. The use of both corn and rice flours creates a blend that more closely mimics the texture of traditional semolina wheat pasta compared to single-grain alternatives. Corn flour contributes body and a mild sweetness, while rice flour lightens the texture and reduces grittiness. Mono and diglycerides serve as emulsifiers to improve dough cohesion and cooking performance. The product contains no wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, or other major allergens, making it broadly inclusive for allergy-conscious consumers.
Nutritionally, a 56-gram dry serving provides approximately 200 calories, 1 gram of fat, 45 grams of carbohydrates, 1.8 grams of fiber, and 3 grams of protein. Per 100 grams, the values are 357 calories, 1.8 grams of fat, and 80.4 grams of carbohydrates. The lower protein content compared to whole wheat pasta is typical for corn-rice blends, which lack gluten-forming proteins.
Cavatappi is particularly well suited to mac and cheese preparations, hearty meat sauces, and pasta salads. Cooking times may differ slightly from wheat pasta; package directions should be followed for optimal texture. This shape is a versatile gluten-free pantry staple.

CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES.
