Traditional Thin Spaghetti

by Spartan

This is a simple, minimally processed pasta made from enriched durum wheat semolina. While it lacks the fiber of whole grain options, it's free from additives, preservatives, and questionable ingredients common in ultra-processed foods.

• Durum Wheat Semolina – safe · The coarse flour from durum wheat, naturally high in protein and gives pasta its characteristic texture. While refined, it's a traditional whole food ingredient.
• Ferrous Sulfate – safe · A form of iron used for enrichment to prevent deficiency. Standard in enriched grain products and well-absorbed by the body.
• Niacin – beneficial · Vitamin B3 essential for energy metabolism and cardiovascular health. Added back after refinement removes naturally occurring vitamins.
• Thiamin Mononitrate – beneficial · Vitamin B1 crucial for nerve function and carbohydrate metabolism. Standard enrichment to prevent deficiency diseases.
• Riboflavin – beneficial · Vitamin B2 important for cellular energy production and antioxidant function. Part of standard grain enrichment.
• Folic Acid – beneficial · Synthetic form of folate that prevents neural tube defects. Mandatory enrichment in grain products has significantly reduced birth defects.
