Why does Dreamfields Pasta packaging say 5 grams of digestible carbohydrates per serving when the Nutrition Facts lists 41 grams of total carbohydrates in a label serving?
While the total carbohydrate in Dreamfields Pasta is the same as traditional pasta, Dreamfields’ patent-pending formula and unique manufacturing process protect all but 5 grams of carbohydrate from being digested. Instead, these 31 grams of protected (undigested) carbohydrates, along with the 5 grams of fiber, pass to the colon where they are fermented, providing many of the benefits of fiber. That leaves 5 grams of digestible carbohydrates per label serving.
