About Pasta, whole-wheat, dry (Includes foods for USDA's Food Distribution Program)
Made from whole wheat flour, this grain-based food offers a hearty and nutritious alternative to refined varieties. It retains the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which means it's rich in dietary fiber—about 9.2 grams per 100 grams—supporting digestive health and helping to regulate blood sugar levels. It also provides a solid source of plant-based protein at 13.9 grams per serving, along with essential nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and magnesium. The complex carbohydrates it contains deliver sustained energy, making it a valuable staple for active individuals and those seeking balanced meals.
In the kitchen, it works well in a wide range of dishes, from classic pasta salads and casseroles to soups and stir-fries. Its slightly nutty flavor and firmer texture hold up well to robust sauces, roasted vegetables, and lean proteins. Because of its higher fiber content, it tends to be more filling than refined versions, which can help with portion control and satiety. Whether used in everyday meals or as part of a food assistance program, it offers both versatility and nutritional value.
