About Whole wheat elbow macaroni

Whole-wheat elbow macaroni is a dried pasta made from whole-wheat flour and water, shaped into short, curved tubes. The uncooked pieces are firm and typically tan to brown; cooked pasta softens while retaining some chew.

It is boiled and used in pasta dishes, soups and baked preparations. The flavour is wheat-like and more pronounced than that of many refined pastas. This entry refers to plain whole-wheat elbow-shaped macaroni, not other pasta shapes or a prepared meal.
