What You Should Know

You'd find this in the pasta aisle or your pantry when stocking up for simple weeknight dinners or a weekend pasta ritual; its hollow, spaghetti-like shape evokes classic Italian meals. The vibe is wholesome and comforting—single-ingredient organic durum wheat semolina yields a firm, al dente texture from extrusion and drying, and the ingredient list and processing point to a processed pantry staple rather than an ultra‑processed product.
