Eden Organic Small Vegetable Shells, 60% Whole Grain
What it is
These are small, shell-shaped pasta pieces made with 60% whole grain and a blend of organic vegetables. The vegetables are incorporated directly into the dough, giving the pasta a subtle color and flavor. They are designed to be a convenient and wholesome pasta option for everyday meals. The whole grain content contributes to a slightly heartier texture compared to refined flour pasta.
How people cook with it
Small vegetable shells are versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes, from simple side dishes to more complex pasta salads.
- Pasta salads
- Macaroni and cheese
- Soups
- Side dishes
To cook, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta 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. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, add it to soups, or chill it for a pasta salad. The small shell shape holds sauces and small ingredients effectively.
How it differs from similar foods
This pasta differs from standard pasta due to its inclusion of 60% whole grain, offering more whole grain content. The added organic vegetables also provide a unique characteristic, contributing a mild vegetable essence and color that is not present in plain pasta.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a pasta option with added whole grains and a hint of vegetable goodness will appreciate these shells.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining pasta 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. Ensure the container is sealed tightly.
