Whole grain pasta.>twice more fiber>supposedly healthier>only takes 10 minutes to cook instead of 8 >taste is like 95% the same >same priceWhat's the catch here? Why isn't everyone just cooking with whole grain pasta?
>>21787346it's also harder to overcook, literally a win/win/win situation
It's not like my Nona used to make, God rest her soul
>>21787346Whole grain only comes in spaghetti and fusilli in my local shopsI use tagliatelle and penne
>>21787346>taste is like 95% the sameThe taste is way, way different
>>21787346>taste is like 95% the same
>>21787346goes off marginally quicker in warehouses so supermarkets and brands don't want to push itt. merchandiser
>>21787346I do.Taste is not 95% the same. It's way different, and I prefer it.
Tastes like shit
>>21788492me too
>>21788500You eat shit?
I like a lot of whole grain products, but I'm not a fan of whole grain pasta. I eat it every once in a while, but I think standard pasta tastes better. Better texture too.
>>21787346>taste is like 95% the sameand 5% grittyno thanks.
>textureautists>ewwww it's grittyRegular pasta tastes like fucking nothing. Whole wheat pasta has a lovely, nutty, slightly sweet flavor.Texture autists are fucking babies.
My wife doesnt like the texture. I still cook it from time to time cuz I don't mind and it's a load of easy fiber, and I'm the cook so I decide
>>21787358Whole grain penne is everywhere.
>>21787346Fibre is a meme.
>>21789202>nutty, slightly sweet flavorwhy would I want this in pasta
>>21787346CAN I GET A QUICK RUN DOWN ((QRD)) ON THE PROTEIN+ PASTA??FLAVOR IS OFF BUT IT CLEANS THE TUBES OUT LAXATIVE STYLE
>>21787346>>twice more fiberit does not have that. pasta at its base does not have fiber. if it has it, they're adding it in. also it does not take well to sauces for some reason. was the main reason i stopped eating it.
>>21789308Because flavor is good?
>>21789501>also it does not take well to sauces for some reasonMy go-to for whole grain spaghetti is:>EVOO>Chicken Better than Boullion>Garlic>Italian seasoning>Parm>meatballs>habanero powder because I'm a capsaicinfag, this is obviously optionalIt's good.
>>21789307My perfect daily shits disagree.
>>21789501>it does not have that.Yes it does, just buy some from the store and check behind?
>>21789307enjoy dying at 50 to colon cancer
>>21789501I share a board with these people.
>>21787346>What's the catch here?feels like eating sand that's been glued together
>>21787346The flavor/texture is definitely not 95%. I just kind of pretend I'm eating soba because I'm a retarded weeb but even then it's definitely not as good as regular pasta. The fiber is worth the taste downgrade though. I thought the protein was higher too.
>>21789501>fiberless pasta>>/x/
I find whole wheat spaghetti is basically the same thing if you cook it a bit longer than you're supposed to, but other shapes like penne or fusilli tend to crack and the different in texture comes out more strongly with those shapes.
>>21787346>What's the catch here?It tastes like shit and the texture is slightly more like sand or ash.>Why isn't everyone just cooking...Because it tastes like shit and the texture is slightly more like sand or ash. You might as well ask why people don't eat more Beyond Burgers instead of beef or turn to poutine instead of loaded cheese fries. The alternatives that are being offered are the lowest class of edible offal ever shit out of a machine.
>>21787346The taste and texture are completely different.>muh fiber>muh healthSo eat a fuckin multivitamin who cares.
>>21789490so eat it. all they've done is add non-wheat high-protein flour
>>21787350You're not Italian.>>21787362>>21787388>>21788500This. >>21788537I've eaten Italian American cuisine, yes.
depends upon the brand, but for me I notice a slight grit and otherwise practically identical flavor.
>>21788488Is that why it's always on managers special? I never buy it cuz it's poopshits but some whole wheat variety of pasta is always on the managers specials shelf with the weird foreign shit no one buys, the weird vegan shit no one buys, the slightly damaged packages and the "why would you do this"-tier limited edition varieties of already established foods (pancakes, bacon, eggs and maple syrup instant ramen, orange Capn Crunch, spicy mango seltzer etc etc etc)
>solves pasta>leaves
>>21787346I like how they all randomly use a "number" of their spaghetti as if they're following some kind of gauging or dimension / scale system, But They Are Not. If you haven't noticed, they'll NOT necessarily be wider with a larger number.Labeling is stupid
>>21793507and before some smartass says it, no, spaghetti also isn't wider with a smaller "No" # designation either
