Whole Grain Penne, Cooked

Whole Grain Penne, Cooked

EverydayCooked

Whole grain penne is a tube-shaped pasta made from unrefined wheat that retains its nutrient-rich bran and germ layers after cooking. This hearty pasta provides significantly more fiber and protein than traditional refined penne, with a chewier texture and nuttier flavor profile. Its complex carbohydrates digest slowly, supporting sustained energy, while the intact grain structure preserves B vitamins and minerals often lost in processing.
