Is whole wheat pasta much healthier?
I honestly don’t care for the whole wheat pasta, it tastes odd to me. However the only major differance between whole wheat pasta and white pasta is: Regular pasta when made by a decent brand ie. Barilla is made from ground semolina which is more readily digestible as it is in its pure form before being processed into white flour. Whole wheat flour however is generally overly processed and lacks the fiber and nutrients of unrefined flours and therefore is not beneficiall to the body. So what you really should be looking for is unrefined whole grains, flax seed, omega infused, rye and multi-grain pastas as opposed to whole wheat which has just become a fancy word for brown white flour.
