Nutrition Kitchen Organic Whole Black Soybean Pasta, Angel Hair Style, 8-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)

Newly gluten free, I looked for a gluten-free pasta that I could eat with the rest of my family. I tried the white soybean pasta, and my 9 and 11 year-olds didn't notice that it wasn't their usual wheat pasta at first. Once it was pointed out to them, they both said they liked it. One look at the nutrition info should be all that's left to convince you - it has a massive amount of protein, as opposed to regular pasta, which is mostly an empty calorie. I heartily recommend the soybean pasta for gluten-free people, and for anyone looking to squeeze a little more protein into their (or their kid's) diet.

I made a brilliant Asian noodle salad with the first half of my first box of black soybean pasta and American spaghetti with the other half. My suggestion is that Asian pasta salads be eaten immediately. They are delicious. A very spicy winey intense pasta sauce with meat and/or mushrooms should be employed AND the soybean pasta tossed in sauce should be refrigerated 24 hours to marinate in the sauce for the Italo-American dinner. I sauted garlic, ground sirloin, peeled diced red bell peppers, then added a jar of imported pasta sauce plus a glass of Pinot Grigio. The soybean pasta gets better and better as it marinates in the refrigerator. 48 hour "Italian" pasta is better than 24 hour pasta. I'm ordering the blond variety next for soups and Japanese pickled noodles. Great for diabetics and the Weight Watchers crowd. I'm both. I'm happy with the product. Now I can eat pasta again. Hooray!

This product cooks well and stays firm in soups/stews/salads. I appreciate the nutrition profile and use this pasta often.

Bought from local natural foods store on special, cooked up... wow, teens said was delicious, certainly the first time ANY such universal comment, other than from one kid only on a sweet chocolate soy milk, on soybeans or any product thereof... Texture was different, but again, we all loved the stuff. I have been buying whole wheat or spelt sphaghetti. Certainly that and this have great fiber content, and better metabolizing than regular pastas. I am definately buying more.

The texture is crazy, but if you can get over that - this stuff is really yummy! And super good for you, of course.

Its rather hard to explain - the strands are rather fiberous, and stick together. Like velcro.
