The pack details above come from the manufacturer. Ingredient research below does not establish the effects of this exact product or independently verify its contents.
Wheat in pearl form
The complete ingredient declaration is wheat flour. The manufacturer describes toasted semolina in its introduction; this is a wheat pasta, not a gluten-free grain.
Measure before cooking
The 49 g dry serving supplies 190 kcal and 8 g protein. Water changes cooked weight, while sauce, oil and cheese change the meal’s nutrient totals.
A practical side dish
The manufacturer’s basic method uses a covered simmer for about 15 minutes. Use oil rather than optional butter when preparing a vegan meal; wheat allergy and coeliac exclusions still apply.
Where might it be useful?

What deserves your attention?
