What You Should Know

You'd find these in the natural/organic pasta or gluten-free aisle — a pantry staple for quick weeknight dinners or health-minded shoppers. They feel wholesome and comforting, like familiar pasta shells with a slightly nutty, protein-forward twist. The single-ingredient label (organic chickpea flour) and simple milling/extrusion into shells point to minimal processing: fine texture and shelf-stability but not an ultraprocessed formulation.
