-- Single ingredient pasta provides four
times the fiber of traditional pasta with no sacrifice on taste
--
DAVIS,
Calif., Jan. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/
-- GoodWheat™ pasta is breaking new ground in helping
consumers make healthier food choices by receiving the American
Heart Association's Heart-Check mark on all five varieties of its
single ingredient noodles. Consumers who are looking for
heart-healthy wheat pasta can now enjoy great taste along with 8g
of fiber and 9g of protein per serving.
The Heart-Check mark was established in 1995 by the American
Heart Association to give consumers an easy, reliable system for
identifying heart-healthy foods as a first step in building a
sensible eating plan. The nutrition requirements for this
certification are based on the stringent standards of
the American Heart Association regarding healthy dietary
recommendations for various food categories, including specific
product ingredients and nutrient values. With its high fiber, lower
sodium and zero saturated fat, GoodWheat meets the criteria for a
heart-healthy pasta and provides consumers with a better-for-you
option that delivers superior nutrition with the taste and texture
of traditional pasta.
GoodWheat is a premium wheat grain that is naturally higher in
fiber and other nutrients, carefully cultivated over the last 16
years by Arcadia Biosciences, Inc.® (Nasdaq:
RKDA). GoodWheat pasta is Non-GMO Project verified, certified
kosher and made from USA farm
grown wheat, a key product attribute for those seeking transparent
sourcing.
"Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., and
studies show that eating more fiber-rich foods can help foster good
heart health," said Stan Jacot, president and CEO
of Arcadia. "With four times more fiber than traditional wheat
pasta and its great taste, GoodWheat delivers the fiber we need in
a better-for-you version of the pasta we love. We are proud that
GoodWheat pasta has received the American Heart Association
Heart-Check certification, validating that it meets their criteria
for heart-healthy foods."

convenient meal solutions, GoodWheat pasta is the perfect pick,"
said Shari Steinbach, MS RDN,
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. "With its amazing taste and
nutritional benefits, GoodWheat is sure to be a family favorite and
