Granoro’s Cuore Mio pasta is made from a mixture of raw materials grown in Italy, good-quality durum wheat semolina and flour made from a particular barley cultivar with a high beta-glucan content. Beta-glucan is a soluble fibre that helps reduce blood cholesterol levels, thus helping to protect against the risk of cardiovascular illnesses.
Consumed as part of a balanced, low-fat diet and combined with a healthy, active lifestyle, regular consumption of a portion of Granoro Cuore Mio pasta (100 g uncooked weight, which becomes 200 g when cooked), gives an intake of 3 g of beta-glucan fibre (substance found naturally in barley flour mixed with durum wheat semolina). That is equal to the daily intake (minimum 3 g) deemed effective by the EFSA in reducing blood cholesterol levels, in particular LDL, or “bad” cholesterol levels.
In addition, a 100 g portion of uncooked Granoro Cuore Mio pasta (which becomes 200 g when cooked) also contains (in addition to 3 g of beta-glucan fibre) a considerable amount of dietary fibre, more than 7 g, meaning Granoro Cuore Mio pasta can be classed as a high-fibre food.
Granoro Cuore Mio pasta helps sustain our wellbeing without compromising on the taste of a delicious first course, because it is good, flavoursome and as elastic as pasta made using only durum wheat semolina.
The Cuore Mio range offers the right products for those wishing to care for their wellbeing without compromising on flavour.
