Has anyone heard anything about the nutritional value of this stuff? It tastes great, but if most of it is undigestible, are you getting any nutrition from eating it?
Is there really much nutrition in any pasta? Other than what they spray on the flour to add vitamins to it. Really, I'd count on getting nutrition from the stuff that goes on it, not the pasta itself.
question: is everyone going to the bathroom a lot more now that they're eating this stuff? -- thats the only proof that will convince me its not being digested!
O k people in Ontario, found it at Zehr's today four different types, bought the spaghetti, but will try it later. So any grocery stores that are related by the same supplier should have it soon. Zehr's, Valu Mart, Loblaw's, don't know the store names out West. Since there are only 2 main grocery distributors in Canada, it should be in a store near you soon.
We have tried so many lc pasta products that taste like, well, you know. yuck.
I saw a tv commercial for this brand, and found it tonight at Cub Foods - the big major warehouse-type grocery store in Minnesota. It was DELICIOUS I couldn't even believe it. Made some pesto sauce & dumped some mushrooms in. YAY! I did have two servings, couldn't really limit myself to the tiny one-serving amount.
I've had this pasta (in tomato soup) two days in a row, and both days I've had just a tiny rise in my insulin readings. Day 1 it went from 97 to 105, and the second day it went from 96 to 107. This was 30 minutes after consuming.
I've also had NO GI effects from eating the pasta... and normally I would since I'm on Metformin.
We had it tonight and it was great - we made it with italian sausage, mushrooms, zucchinni (sauteed) and added fresh tomatoes, fresh basil and grated parmesan - then mixed it all together - terrific meal and much easier to eat just one serving!

Tried it for the first time tonight -- so I'm kind of waiting to be hungry or get the shakes from raising my carb level, but so far so good...will see how my appetite is tomorrow, but if this stuff works, I could do this forever and I'm very happy...
