Dry pastas: Nutrition Facts and Calories
This category covers a wide range of dried pasta shapes, including spaghetti, fusilli, penne, and lasagne sheets, made from durum wheat semolina or other grains. Pasta is a source of carbohydrates, providing energy. When choosing pasta, the ingredient list is key. Look for pasta where 'wholemeal' or 'wholewheat' is listed as the first ingredient to maximise fibre intake. Fibre contributes to a healthy digestive system. The nutrition label can help you compare products. While pasta itself is typically low in salt and sugar, some flavoured or enriched varieties may contain added salt or sugars, so it's worth checking these values. The NHS Eatwell Guide recommends that a healthy diet includes plenty of fibre, so choosing wholewheat options is a good way to achieve this. Remember that pasta is often part of a meal, so consider the overall nutritional content of your dish. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
