Chickpea Pasta
Chickpea pasta is a divisive food. You’ll need to give it a try to determine your own feelings about it because most people seem to either love it or hate it. But be aware that before making any decisions, you must interpret the label if you’re considering the well-known Banza brand.
“Look at the serving size. You’ll see that it isn’t the typical 2 oz portion. A dietitian did not write these labels,” says Derocha. The company uses a 3. 5 oz serving size, which can make it appear more unique than other pastas while actually being quite similar. (For a comparison at an equivalent serving size, see below.) ).
For the best taste and texture, many fans recommend cooking chickpea pasta less time than the package directions state and rinsing it before serving. Derocha prefers chickpea pasta in chilled dishes, such as pasta salad. “Especially for people who don’t eat beans, which research shows are so beneficial to health, it’s worth it for them to try to find a way to enjoy a bean-based pasta,” she says. “It’s a great plant-based protein.”
Here’s what you’ll find in 2 oz of Banza chickpea pasta:
Edamame Pasta
This single-ingredient pasta is Derocha’s absolute favorite. It tastes fairly similar to regular spaghetti and has a mild flavor. It’s great with pesto,” she says. This option will meet your needs whether you want to increase your protein or fiber intake. On both counts, it completely outperforms white pasta (see the nutritional information below).
The name of the product is slightly misleading. The noodles are made entirely of soybean flour, so they should really be called “soy spaghetti.” Young soybeans known as “edamame” are typically consumed fresh rather than dried.
Picky eaters might not be eager to fully commit to edamame pasta at first, especially. “I like to mix it with regular pasta,” says Derocha. That’s sound advice for any new pasta you’re trying to introduce to your family.
