Enriched Macaroni Rotini Pasta

by Brookshire Grocery

Simple refined pasta with basic enrichment - clean ingredient list but lacks whole grain benefits. Better than heavily processed alternatives but not nutritionally optimal.

• Durum Wheat Semolina – safe · Refined wheat flour from durum wheat - provides carbohydrates and some protein but lacks fiber and nutrients of whole grain
• Iron (Ferrous Sulfate) – beneficial · Essential mineral supplementation to replace iron lost during wheat refining process
• Niacin – beneficial · Vitamin B3 enrichment required by FDA to replace nutrients lost in processing
• Thiamin Mononitrate – beneficial · Vitamin B1 in stable form to replace thiamin lost during wheat refining
• Riboflavin – beneficial · Vitamin B2 enrichment to restore nutrients removed during processing
• Folic Acid – beneficial · Synthetic folate added for neural tube defect prevention, especially important for pregnant women
