Market Organic 100% Whole Wheat Macaroni
What it is
This is a package of macaroni made entirely from whole wheat flour. Whole wheat flour includes the bran and germ of the wheat kernel, which gives the pasta a slightly heartier texture and a nuttier flavor compared to pasta made with refined flour. It is a pantry staple for many households, offering a versatile base for a wide range of dishes. The organic certification indicates it was produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
How people cook with it
Macaroni is a popular pasta shape that works well in many types of dishes.
- Baked pasta dishes
- Macaroni and cheese
- Pasta salads
- Soups
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the macaroni and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well. It can then be combined with your favorite sauce, cheese, vegetables, or meats. It is also excellent in cold pasta salads or added to brothy soups.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike refined wheat pasta, this whole wheat version retains more of the original grain. This results in a darker color, a more robust flavor, and a slightly chewier texture. The presence of the entire wheat kernel contributes to its distinct characteristics.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining macaroni in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry. Proper storage ensures the pasta remains suitable for future meals.
