FiberPasta is an Italian functional pasta with a very low glycemic index (G.I. 23), much lower than regular pasta. It contains a high fibre amount (15 g fibre per 100g), that means more than twice the fibre of dark whole wheat pasta, while still being able to offer the same great taste as the traditional Italian pasta. It contains a low nickel content (0,071mg/kg). In the year 2001 the Italian Ministry of Health approved FiberPasta as “suitable for people suffering from the troubles of glucose metabolism (diabetes)”. The high amount of fibre slows fats and carbohydrate absorption and contributes to weight and cholesterol control and helps the digestive health.
