Protein Pasta

Pasta is an all-time favorite. In 2020, the Germans consumed about 800,000 tons of pasta. And in difficult times like these with crisis after crisis the amount is highly likely to increase as pasta is not only pretty cheap, but also quickly prepared, easy to combine and pretty much everybody’s favorite from toddlers to seniors.

Bad news for everyone who’s having a hard time losing weight: pasta is full of carbs which should better be avoided during a diet. But cheer up: protein pasta is a pretty good alternative providing up to 77% less carbs in return for about 4x more protein than traditional pasta. Regarding preparation and combination options there’s no difference between common pasta and its protein-enriched alternative.

Another fact on the pro-side is the pasta’s rough surface that evolves from its ingredients and enhances the ability to bind the sauce – a fact that Italian cuisine pays much attention to. Depending on the composition protein pasta may also have prolonged satiating effects.

Fusilli, penne or tagliatelle – protein pasta comes in various shapes, commonly packed in transparent bags so your customer quickly recognizes his/her favorite at first glance.

Focusing on plant-based ingredients we make sure to create pasta suitable for vegetarian and vegan diet. Pasta made from lentils or chickpeas is currently very popular and besides being packed with valuable proteins also rich in fibers.

When you now think that protein pasta can’t possibly taste good, rest assured that nowadays delicious alternatives dominate the market without the jelly-like mouthfeel they used to have in the early beginnings of protein pasta development.
