FoodSpring Protein Pasta: Opinions, Reviews and Nutritional Values
Protein Pasta is a product made by the FoodSpring company , which for several years has been involved in making specific products to achieve specific well-being goals such as weight loss, increase in muscle mass and maintenance of a healthy weight.
FoodSpring offers products made with ingredients of natural origin, as is obviously also the case with the new FoodSpring Protein Pasta , a food rich in protein and low in carbohydrates ( low carb ), suitable for those on a slimming diet or practicing physical activity.
This type of pasta is ideal to bring to the table for your lunches and dinners. It is made exclusively with 100% natural ingredients and contains more protein than regular pasta. It can be consumed by all those who wish to increase their protein content in the diet while it is not suitable for those who are intolerant to gluten.
What are the different formats available? How much?
The price of a 250 gram pack of protein pasta is €4.99, while those who request delivery by subscription can take advantage of a 10% discount.
The cost is slightly higher than other brands and classic pasta. because FoodSpring pasta is made from pea protein concentrate, a different raw material than ordinary pea flour.
Indeed, to create pea protein concentrate, the carbohydrates and fibers must be filtered out, leaving only the high-quality proteins, while the traditional pea flour is dried and the peas are ground.
Foodspring’s goal is to produce products that have something extra and due to the process with which the pasta is prepared, the cost may seem slightly higher than that applied by other brands.
If you want to buy it you can do it through the official website of the company. Currently there is only one format but it is probable that other perhaps more traditional formats such as penne, rigatoni, farfalle and spaghetti will soon arrive.
The detailed composition of the protein paste: what ingredients does it contain?
In the introduction of the article, we have already seen in part that one of the peculiar characteristics of Foodspring Protein Pasta , but in this paragraph we are going to go into detail why this product is so indicated in the diet of those who want to lose weight and those who practice a constant physical activity.
The reason, which can be guessed from what we have already said, is the high protein content. This pasta has said goodbye to carbohydrates: it contains less than quinoa and provides more protein than chicken.
The secret, therefore, is precisely this: proteins instead of carbohydrates. In this pasta we find a concentrate of premium pea proteins , which are of superior quality compared to the traditional dried and unblended pea proteins that are offered by other companies.
In addition, we also find wheat gluten and wheat flour.
Therefore, by choosing this product, you will be sure that you are taking a high protein food with all the essential amino acids, without ingredients of animal origin (it is a vegan food ) and without soy.
Why is it not suitable for coeliacs?
This product is 100% vegan , but is not suitable for coeliacs because it contains gluten which is added to the preparation to increase the protein intake of the pasta and to provide a complete amino acid intake.
On the market there are also other types of protein pasta that contain egg proteins instead of gluten which makes them suitable for the diet of those suffering from celiac disease.
