About Us

Talk to any pasta lover and you’ll hear the same story.

People LOVE traditional pasta for the
TASTE and TEXTURE
but they HATE the Carb “Defect” that makes people feel bloated and causes Obesity.

The countless “Specialty” pasta products (“the Imposters”) like Chickpea, Lupin, and others, have not delivered. They may “resemble” Classic Pasta, but NONE deliver on taste and texture. We know this!

We’re Pasta LOVERS! We’ve tried them all!

It took years, countless trial formulations, with many ingredients, to recreate the “authentic” pasta taste and texture without the Carb “Defect”.

But since we took out he “Empty Carbs,” we saw an opportunity to add more healthy ingredients like Complete Plant-Based Proteins and Prebiotic Fibers, which we thought people would welcome since few get enough!

We knew in our hearts that ALL pasta lovers, including us, deserved better!
