Whole Foods MarketOrganic Chickpea Shells, 8 Ounce

I tried this pasta initially by boiling half the box. I boiled it for the exact time on the box. The pasta was so hard and had a strong chickpea flavor. I was very disappointed but a few days later I tried boiling it longer, for 20 minutes, if not a few minutes more, yes that long. The pasta was still aldente but it tasted like regular pasta and I added the whole foods marina sauce and drizzled some olive oil and added fresh basil. I couldn’t stop eating it, now that it’s all gone I’m back here adding several more to my cart. I’m happy knowing I’m eating a healthier alternative to regular pasta and that I was able to make it work.

Okay! Pasta snob! Never thought I’d see the day when I gave up my nice Italian wheat pasta, but I did for my health and I know I should have done it sooner. Many gf pastas out there do not measure up. A measly 8 oz for a price that could easily be 3x a POUND of wheat pasta.. this value is not fantastic but good when compared with other brands.. what is the difference? The texture. It holds. Firmer than some rice based pastas but that’s good. It won’t crumble or turn to mush! You can mix and match and bake and stew and it’s not gonna fall to little pieces of unrecognizable something in your food! It holds well even with some sautéing and tossing around, like with my favorite, broccoli rabe. Flavor is good. It’s not as sweet as rice or other grain based pastas. 100% chickpea flour (organic). Just when I thought I knew everything about my favorite bean, who knew all by itself it was the best ingredient for gf pasta?!

I love that they have 8 grams of protein per serving . My granddaughters favorite. They cook up a little on the dry side so I do coat them with a spritz of olive oil .

Great, Great Taste. My favorite new pasta 😋

I’m trying different brands of grain free pasta. I bought a pasta made with chickpeas which I really liked so thought that this would be good. I liked the idea of seashells to make mac and cheese. These were shaped more like sea snail shells so didn’t drain well. No matter how long I cooked them, they still had a sort of grainy texture. If they cooled off, it was even worse. I’m trying to use it up so I wouldn’t feel like I wasted my money, but they’re literally hard to swallow. These were pretty disappointing.

I HAD THESE FOR THE FIRST TIME. I LOVED THE TEXTURE. I LOVE THE TASTE. TASTED THE CHIC PEAS. GREAT FLAVOUR

Better price than Erie Foods CoOp.

This stuff is absolutely awful. I recently switched to gluten free, and I love pasta so that was a problem. However, the others I've tried are so much better. The taste is so overpowering that it ruins whatever is put on it. The texture at any level of cooked is terrible. They're grainy, fall apart in your mouth into little gritty nastyness. Gross. Do yourself a favor and avoid this sad excuse for pasta.
