Recently I have been trying out different brands of organic whole wheat pasta. I have been enjoying the experience, I figure this is the best way to find an organic whole wheat spaghetti that I like for its taste, nutrition and price. While there have been some brands that I have clearly thought were better than others, there have also been brands that I thought were not as good as some of the other whole wheat pastas that I tried. Thankfully when I tried Westbrae Natural Organic Whole Wheat Spaghetti I thought that it was one of the better ones. I found a sixteen ounce box for two dollars and seventy nine cents. It was an average cost for organic whole wheat spaghetti so right there I thought that was good. It can get expensive buying organic food items if you aren't careful and so it is nice when you can find brands that don't cost a fortune. One of the first things that I noticed on the Westbrae Natural Organic Whole Wheat Spaghetti box was the word vegetarian under the label. This was the first time that I had seen the word vegetarian on a spaghetti box, even though spaghetti noodles are vegetarian. The next thing that I noticed on the box was a vegetarian diet pyramid, something else I have never seen on a spaghetti box or anywhere else for that matter. This had me very eager to try out the spaghetti as well as find out about the company. The Westbrae Natural Organic Whole Wheat Spaghetti cooked up in less than fifteen minutes and I thought that it tasted good, it wasn't too hearty although it still is whole wheat pasta so it is going to be somewhat hearty. The company Westbrae actually started out as a grocery store in the seventies. Eventually they dropped the store and became a manufacture of vegetarian foods full time. Last year the company was acquired by The Hain Celestial Group, which owns such brands as Rice Dream, Hain Pure Foods and Celestial Seasonings. All in all the company seemed to be quite wonderful and as I mentioned above the taste was not bad either. Each box came with eight servings and listed organic whole durum wheat flour for its only ingredient. The nutrition that the Westbrae Natural Organic Whole Wheat Spaghetti offered was very good. It offered more calcium, four percent of your daily need, than any previous whole wheat spaghettis that I have ever tried. It also had eight percent of your daily need of iron. Each serving was low in sodium, at only ten milligrams a serving, and high in potassium. The potassium listed two hundred and twenty grams which would be six thousand percent of what you would need daily, so clearly this was a typo. I verified on the company's website that the potassium in every serving is in fact two hundred and twenty milligrams. Being whole wheat not surprisingly the spaghetti offered six grams of fiber and eight grams of protein and being pasta not surprisingly was low in sugar with one gram and offered forty one grams of carbohydrates. After tasting the Westbrae Natural Organic Whole Wheat Spaghetti, reviewing the company, and reading the ingredients and nutrition facts I was quite pleased about the spaghetti. In addition I liked that it came in a mostly cardboard box, instead of solid plastic. I would definitely consider getting this spaghetti again. I would recommend it to anyone. All in all I thought that this was a good food item and I am happy that I tried it. |
