@revival.health.wellness: Guys, LISTEN UP!! 🍝👀 Just because a pasta has 2 ingredients, says HIGH PROTEIN, or comes straight from Italy doesn't mean it's automatically a better choice! Pasta isn't the problem. But how the ingredients are grown, where they're sourced, and what's added to them? THAT matters to me. Here are 4 popular pasta brands I personally skip and WHY: ❌BARILLA - Simple ingredients, but their conventional wheat pasta isn't organic. Glyphosate can be used in conventional wheat farming, and I prefer to minimize potential pesticide exposure. ❌BANZA - Don't let the HIGH PROTEIN label fool you! Their conventional chickpea pasta isn't organic, and glyphosate can be used in chickpea farming. I also check for added gums, which can cause digestive discomfort for some people. ❌GOOD & GATHER - Some varieties contain added synthetic folic acid. I personally prefer unenriched pasta without added vitamins. ❌RAO'S - Great, simple ingredients! BUT their traditional pasta isn't labeled organic. For me, the sourcing matters just as much as the ingredient list. ❇️AND HERE'S SOMETHING I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW... "MADE IN ITALY" 🇮🇹 DOESN'T MEAN THE WHEAT WAS GROWN IN ITALY! A pasta can be manufactured in Italy using wheat sourced from somewhere else. So don't assume Italian packaging tells you the whole story! WHAT I LOOK FOR THE REASONS I SWITCHED PASTAS AFTER CANCER ✅Organic, always Conventional wheat can be sprayed with glyphosate right before harvest. Organic skips synthetic pesticides. ✅Short ingredient lists One or two ingredients. No gums, fillers, or mystery blends. ✅Bronze cut + slow dried How pasta is made matters as much as what's in it. ✅The PGI Gragnano seal Traditional Italian pasta made under strict rules. ✅Protein + fiber Legume pastas keep you fuller, are gentler on blood sugar, and feed your gut.
