Banza Chickpea Spaghetti Pasta 8 Oz

Overview

Banza's spaghetti is made from chickpeas instead of wheat, giving it a gluten free, higher protein, lower carb profile than traditional pasta in an 8 oz package.

Chickpea flour is the defining ingredient here, which is what drives the protein and carb numbers apart from a standard durum wheat spaghetti. The listing data is limited on cook time and yield, so check the box itself for those details before your first batch.

• Chickpea-based spaghetti, 8 oz
• Gluten free
• Higher protein than wheat pasta
• Lower carb than traditional spaghetti

Who it's for

Fits people looking to add protein or cut carbs without giving up a pasta shape, and anyone avoiding gluten. Not the choice for someone who wants the classic wheat pasta taste and texture, since legume pastas cook and taste differently.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Chickpea flour behaves differently under heat than wheat semolina, generally cooking faster and staying firm in a narrower window, which is why legume pastas are typically watched more closely near the end of the boil than wheat pasta. The tradeoff for the higher protein and lower carb count is a denser bite and a mild bean flavor that some sauces mask better than others.
