pablothegreat's Full Review: Eden Vegetable Shells Pasta 12 Oz (Pack Of 6)
I live with a small child that consumes so much pasta, I swear she is going to turn into a noodle. There are days she begs for noodles; morning, night and noon! So I am always on the lookout for various noodles so she is not eating the same old thing day after day. From different colors to different shapes, as well as healthier options, I search high and low for varying pastas. A plus is a pasta that has many colors like Eden Vegetable Shells Pasta so I can hide in green veggies and meats....shh!!
Eden Vegetable Shells Pasta that we purchased are the small vegetable shells. The colors are orange, green, pink, cream, and I think that is all. The pasta looks like little seashells also known as "conchigliette." This product is organic and made of whole grain. Makes me feel much better about feeding my child a healthier pasta! The package says "heart healthy."
I was a little worried that the taste of an organic, whole wheat, healthy pasta would not taste good and I did not know if my daughter would eat it. The pasta is boiled and ready in 8-10 minutes. The taste was similar to regular pasta but I did find that the noodles were tougher than other pastas. I tried different cooking times to see if they would soften up (for our next times eating them) and they really did not. My daughter enjoyed the noodles and did not complain about the toughness. She loved all of the colors in this pasta. I did not care for the noodles being so tough myself. The noodles to me seemed "heavier" than others that we have eaten. I felt fuller from eating it. Which is always a good thing!
What is so good about THIS product?
Made in the US. Organic. Whole grain. Healthy. Multi-colored. Good source of protein and fiber. No salt added. "Heart healthy."
What is so unique about this product?
Eden Vegetable Shells Pasta is made on a USA family farm and is organic. This pasta has many colors. It is also whole grain and "heart healthy."
Does this product taste good?
Well if my picky daughter will eat it, I say yes. I will eat it but do not like it as much as others. It is kind of tough to me. I love that it is a healthier version of pasta.
What does this product look like?
Multi-colored seashell shaped pasta. It comes in a brown and green package. The ingredients from the side of the box: "Organic golden amber durum wheat semolina, organic beet powder, organic spinach powder, organic carrot powder, organic annatto powder."
Even though this is a different style of pasta, there are no additional cooking methods required. You cook this pasta the same as others. Place into boiling water for 8-10 minutes.
How is this product made?
From the side of the box: "Golden amber durum wheat, family farm organically grown on the high plains of Montana and North Dakota. Formed using an Italian brass die into seashells, a shape also known as conchigli."
There has to be some bad to this product, right?
A little tougher than our usual pasta.
Where can I find this wonderful product that you love so much?
Online retailers. I have never seen this item in stores.
Eden Vegetable Shells Pasta is a great healthier pasta that is organic. We will still buy it even though I think the noodles are more tough than others. My child will eat it and it is healthier for her so I am thrilled!
