whole wheat / multigrain pasta
I'm trying to eat better, but I'm confused as to which type of spaghetti / noodles to buy. I'm a picky eater, but working on it... (I'm not eating a ton of pasta, but when I do eat it, I want to eat something better than the white stuff)
I bought Barilla Plus Multigrain angel hair pasta, but then I read it may not be as good as regular whole wheat pasta - that it still has refined flour in it, etc.
It actually tasted so good that I had to look it up to see if it wasn't good for you after all!
Help! I'm not sure what to look for on the labels!
Thanks.

I like the healthy harvest pasta for spaghettis/linguine and I buy the Barilla plus for Penne, Rigatoni type. IMO buying either type is better for you than the regular white types.

Re: whole wheat / multigrain pasta
Barilla plus does have refined white flour in it, but it also has many other nutrients and a lot more fiber than regular pasta. It is NOT the same as whole wheat, though.

Re: whole wheat / multigrain pasta
Okay, so... if I'm interpreting correctly:
Barilla Plus is better than the regular white stuff, but whole wheat is better.
Okay... I will finish off this box and then try the whole wheat. Maybe this will be a good "transition" pasta!

I buy Dreamfields. It's low carb, not whole wheat.

Re: whole wheat / multigrain pasta
mulitgrain has some white flour in it, whole wheat is all brown/whole wheat flour and it's better for you
