About Whole grain pasta

Whole-grain pasta is pasta made with flour identified as whole grain. It is sold in familiar pasta shapes and used in meals much like other pasta, but the name does not identify the grain source or complete ingredient list.

The dry product is typically firm and shaped; after cooking it softens while retaining a texture that varies with the flour and cooking time. Colour and flavour may be more pronounced than in pasta made from refined flour, though those qualities depend on the product.
