It is the perfect option for anyone who aims for a healthy and balanced lifestyle without giving up the taste of traditional pasta. Comparison to 100% durum pasta This innovative low-glycemic pasta doesn't cause sudden energy spikes and naturally contains higher levels of protein and fiber, giving it a greater nutritional value than conventional pasta. The recipe is based on a blend of durum wheat flour, lupin flour, oat fiber rich in β-glucan, and wheat gluten. These ingredients create a product with a low glycemic index (GI<40) and a low glycemic load (GL<10), while maintaining the classic texture and taste of Italian pasta. Thanks to this composition, GI Pasta offers more balanced nutritional profile than traditional pasta made from 100% durum wheat semolina. A 100g of cooked pasta provides approximately 151kcal, 22g of digestible carbohydrates, 8.8g of protein, and 6.6g of fiber. It contains about 10g fewer carbohydrates per 100g of cooked pasta, 146% more fiber, and about 45% more protein than conventional pasta. These proportions help ensure longer-lasting satiety and make it easier to maintain steady energy levels throughout the day. A large selection and dynamic growth - meet the 4 most popular forms As a growing brand, GI Pasta 38 meets modern nutritional needs and is available in four popular shapes: Spaghetti, Fusilli, Penne, and Fillini. Each variety has a low glycemic index, more fiber, more protein, and fewer carbohydrates, while still offering the familiar taste and light color of classic pasta. Summary In summary, GI Pasta is an innovative low-glycemic pasta that combines the authentic taste of traditional wheat pasta with the benefits of modern nutrition: high protein content, high fiber content, low carbohydrate content, and a balanced glycemic response. It is the smart and healthy choice for diabetics, athletes, and anyone who values long-lasting energy and excellent flavor.
