I was just thinking these should all be checked for ingredients first because I'm not sure they are all SBD safe. People often respond to the questions without knowing what SBD is or even that they are in the SBD forum, they just have a favorite food they want to recommend
Here's what I found for the Barilla:
INGREDIENTS:
Semolina, grain and legume flour blend (lentils, chick peas, oats, spelt, barley, egg whites, ground flaxseeds and wheat fiber), niacin, ferrous lactate (iron), thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid.
IMO definitely not SBD friendly, that semolina is pure starch.
Fiber Gourmet has the same problem:
Classic (All Shapes): Durum Semolina Flour, Modified Wheat Starch, Wheat Gluten
Remember South Beach is whole grain, whole foods not low carb. Have you tried brown rice pasta? That's my personal favorite and reminds me more of the pasta I grew up with. Depending on where you live my Mom can get fresh whole wheat pasta, also very good. I rarely eat pasta anymore because I just can't handle the serving size.
