Pasta nutrients
Pasta nutrients can vary depending on pasta’s shape, brand, quality, type, ingredients, portions, added salt and more other variables. Calories per gram when cooked is going to vary as well, because if you cook it a bit more or less, it’ll take on a bit more or less water. So the same amount of dry pasta, with the same amount of calories, may weigh slightly different amounts.
Under the name pasta we can find egg pasta, durum wheat pasta, whole grain durum wheat flour pasta, enriched pasta, dried gluten free pasta types, fresh pasta and the list could go on for a while. Each type will strongly differ in nutrients according mainly to ingredients but not only.
