We’ve been on a quest to find a healthier pasta that really tastes good. We understand the benefits of adding whole grains into our diet and have been trying out different whole grain pastas to replace what we had been using for years. Some are pretty bad, tasting more like the cardboard box they came in than like pasta. Others are pretty good, but we still wouldn’t say we love them. We’ve found that the best tasting ones taste better because they’re only partially made with whole wheat.
I had just about given up on finding a 100% whole wheat pasta that my family (and myself) would really enjoy.
Then I was offered some samples of Einkorn Pasta by Jovial Foods. *cue angels singing*
We absolutely fell in love with Einkorn. Once I learned some more about it, I got even more excited. Not only is Einkorn made with 100% organic whole wheat, it is made from the purest, most ancient species of wheat. Unlike most other stains that have been hybrid or genetically altered, Einkorn is the very first species of wheat that dates back over 12,000 years ago.
Jovial says that this status also give Einkorn higher nutritional value. Einkorn has thiamin, protein, fiber, B vitamins, and twice the antioxidants of regular pasta. But what really sold my family was the taste. You’ll have to try it yourself to see exactly what I mean.
So once I was completely sold on Einkorn, I set out to stock up on it and couldn’t find it in any of my local stores. Even Woodman’s, which has the largest natural food’s section around, didn’t have it. Luckily, it is really easy to get online. You can order it directly from Jovial Foods (with free shipping) or from Amazon.com

.I encourage you to Einkorn a try – I think you will be very pleasantly surprised!
I was provided with product samples to facilitate my review. As always, all opinions expressed are my own.

I’m transitioning my family to whole wheat pasta, as well. Thanks for the review.
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I have trouble with that too! I’ve found thin spaghetti usually tastes ok, but other pastas just have a funny taste or consistency. I’ll have to give this a go.

I love whole wheat pasta. My son doesn’t know any difference, because he’s only eaten whole wheat pasta at home. And my hubby has finally come around. 🙂
