About Pasta, whole-wheat, dry (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)
Whole-wheat dried pasta keeps the bran and germ intact that refined pasta discards, which roughly triples the fiber content compared to its white counterpart. Protein is also somewhat higher. The texture after cooking is heartier and the flavor is nuttier and more distinctly wheaty. Some people find it earthy; others find it satisfying in a way white pasta never quite manages. It holds up particularly well to robust sauces, tomato-based preparations, and anything with beans or hearty vegetables. Cook it a minute or two longer than the package suggests and check frequently, as it can go from al dente to soft quickly.
