I never had white pasta so yes I actually enjoy it

>>13926691
It's not terrible when I make it with hummus. I imagine that it wouldn't be horrible with certain pestos as well, but with any tomato sauce it is too off for me. I'm half italian though so I'm constantly trying to get over my pasta pretension.

>>13926691
It's shit for the most part. It's the kind of thing that you can try to cook properly, but never truly enjoy. If trying to eat healthily, I'd rather eat lentils than brown pasta.

I've got no problem with it

>>13926691
>whole wheat
>wheat had to be ground to be made into pasta
that don’t sound like whole wheat to me boy, it sure dont

>>13926691
I'm going to buy some and tell you my opinion

>>13926714
lentil pasta would be the correct answer

It's fine, you usually just need to cook it for way longer than the box says like 2-3 minutes more

>>13926691
Our whole family switched to it because of a doctor recommendation to one family member regarding triglyceride levels. I accidentally bought regular pasta one day instead and we ate it and I found I strongly preferred the whole wheat pasta.

I do

>>13928568
I generally find this is what happens with whole wheat stuff, it’s unusual at first but now I hate to have anything with white flour

>>13926691
I honestly prefer it. It's has more flavour than the regular and a slight firmer texture. Then again I prefer whole wheat multigrain bread and dark rye bread over white cotton bread.

Way better than regular pasta. It actually has flavor and a more enjoyable texture. I don't think it's any healthier really. Whole wheat chads RISE UP

It's the only pasta I eat, none of that brown rice quinoa shit. Floured rice seems to spike my blood sugar much more than wheat. But I rarely eat pasta because whole hard red wheat bread is much better.

Soba is good too, but usually structurally reinforced with white flour (of wheat)

it's slightly nicer and slightly healthier
not really much difference at all

>>13928639
Quinoa on its own is good though. It can also be coarsely ground and eaten as a hot cereal

>>13926691
I’ve eaten whole wheat pasta for a long time and now I I’m not a fan of the white pasta.

>>13926691
White pasta tastes like glue.

This isn't the middle ages. Refined foods are low status now.

>>13928706
Whole wheat pasta is a modern hipster invention tho.

>>13928706
fuck off hippie, there's still people who like the good stuff and not the ecomeme variants

>>13928719
Is it? I've always made it from whole wheat four. Are you saying people in the past never made pasta from their unbolted milled wheat?

>>13928727
You're eating slave food. Your masters feed you white flour only because its longer shelf life makes it cheaper to do so.

>>13928706
Cool post your tranny boss

>>13928747
take your five percenter jive and shove it

>>13928739
They didn't make a big deal of it, that's a thing of modern urbanites.

>>13928747
>Your masters feed you white flour only because its longer shelf life makes it cheaper to do so.
it also tastes better and makes people fart and burp less, so there's that.

>>13928788
tastes worse unless you're a mctoddler

>>13928802
enjoy your shitty brown noodles.

>>13928811
and yes i'm calling them noodles because they don't deserve to be called pasta

>>13926691
A mixture of half white and half wholewheat is tasty. Just wholewheat on it's own is not.

>>13928779
>some soiredditors online said they like it so it’s bad

>>13928639
I like brown rice. :(

>>13928788
>having to worry about gas
lmao

>>13929140
I think he means pasta made out of brown rice/ quinoua flour

>>13928554
I cook it for what the box says, then turn off the heat and let it sit in the water until the bran is softened. Usually takes 2x as long as cook time. So if the pasta box says to cook for 10 minutes, I do that then let it sit in the water with the heat off for 20 minutes after. It doesn't get mushy because the bran keeps absorbing more water and it's not all going to the starch. It probably depends on the brand though, some brands might use wheat that's ground more finely and it won't take as long to soften.

>>13928586
I don't mind white flour stuff, but after eating whole wheat for so long you realize white flour is lacking some texture and flavor.

>>13929155
yes
>>13929140
It's only high glycemic when floured, for me, much moreso than even white flour (of wheat. I can't say "white wheat flour" because there are varieties of wheat known as white, so one could think I mean whole white wheat. They're less tasty and less glutinous.)

Rice is higher in arsenic than other grains

https://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-the-pros-of-brown-rice-outweigh-the-cons-of-arsenic/#transcript

>So, bottom line, until we know more, my current thinking on the matter is: if you really like rice, you can moderate your risk by cutting down, choosing lower-arsenic varieties, and cooking it in a way to lower exposure even further. But, if you like other whole grains just as much—like if you simply don’t care either way if you have rice vs. quinoa, or whatever, I’d choose the lower-arsenic option.

>>13929162
This seems like a ridiculous reason not to eat brown rice, there’s plenty of compounds in food which are toxic it over ingested but fine and more often than not healthy if eaten in small doses like potassium and iron
Just checked the wiki for arsenic
> Trace quantities of arsenic are an essential dietary element in rats, hamsters, goats, chickens, and presumably other species. A role in human metabolism is not known.

>>13929189
If you're eating rice every day, it's enough to slightly increase cancer risk. Maybe that would be more than offset if the cheapness of rice enables you to spend more on greens and such?

The more you know: Plenty parts of Italy that didn't have the same access to wheat as, say Campania, have traditional pastas made with chestnut, potato, whole grain flour or other things nowadays considered "exotic" and not true pasta.

I eat whole grain and chestnut trofie every week pretty much.

>>13929202
Who eats rice every day? I’m not Asian lmao

>>13929189
> there’s plenty of compounds in food which are toxic it over ingested but fine and more often than not healthy if eaten in small doses
Arsenic isn't one of them, and the reason brown rice is a concern is because the amount of arsenic in it is relatively high and above the threshold that would be safe to regularly consume
>>13926691
The brand of whole wheat pasta makes a huge different, much more than for white pasta

>>13926691
Put extra sugar to sauce and call it a chocolate pasta

It’s garbage but lentil pasta is alright.

Especially with pesto.

>>13929455
I seriously doubt you could eat enough rice to become seriously unwell, populations that over subsist on it are known for having vitamin A deficiency, not arsenic poisoning

>>13929232
chest deez nuts nigga lmao

>>13926691
>Is there anybody out there who actually enjoys this stuff?
Yes

>>13926691
i just find the taste it has very strong and thus hard to make it work with a fine sauce

>>13926691
whole wheat pasta is for white people because they can't stop thinking about black cock

normal humans eat yellow pasta

>>13929982
>populations that over subsist on it are known for having vitamin A deficiency, not arsenic poisoning
It depends if fertilizers or pesticides with arsenic were used in the area before they started growing rice. It's a bigger problem in the USA because it was used on cotton farms.

>>13928568
Trogledyte levels?

>>13926707
>Pasta with hummus
What in the fuck?

>>13930168
arsenic is a US thing because they use arsenic-laced chicken feces as a fertilizer.

never buy US rice.

>>13930258
Sounds weird if you only think of hummus as a chip dip, but pasta with chickpeas (ceci) was already being eaten. Hummus is just a chickpea paste.

>>13928554
Do people actually follow the box time? I just try a piece periodically
