Tag: White spaghetti

According to the Whole Grains Council, whole grains, which include whole wheat, contain 25% more protein and significantly more fiber than their refined counterparts. This fact sets the stage for a nutritional comparison, asking: is durum whole wheat spaghetti truly better than its white spaghetti counterpart?

While standard white spaghetti offers a low amount of fiber, with a typical cooked cup containing only 2 to 3 grams, it's not entirely devoid of this essential nutrient. This limited fiber content is primarily due to the refining process, which removes the wheat kernel's fiber-rich bran and germ.
