Granoro Fusilli, with quinoa, gluten-free, No. 473

Granoro is launching gluten-free pasta. The range includes five basic shapes made from corn, rice, and quinoa flour, as well as a corn and rice lasagna. This pasta is designed for anyone with gluten intolerance or who has voluntarily eliminated gluten from their diet. The aroma and flavor of Granoro`s GlutenFree pasta are typical of corn, softened by the rice flour and the vegetal notes of quinoa. Quinoa was included in the blend to compensate for the lack of fiber, minerals, and protein in rice and corn alone. The combination of the three flours gives the pasta a yellow color very similar to that of durum wheat pasta, rather than the translucent yellow of many commercially available pastas. The pasta remains firm after cooking, and its rough surface allows sauces to cling to it easily.
