City of Industry, CA – March 1, 2017 – Gluten Free Foods, North Americas’s largest producer of gluten-free, non-GMO pastas, is announcing the launch of four new Pastariso™ Super Protein Pastas that will be featured at the Natural Products Expo in Anaheim this March.

For years, the Pastariso brand has focused solely on offering the finest quality, gluten-free, non-GMO pasta products produced to deliver the authentic taste and texture consumers love. The new Pastariso Super Protein Pastas feature exclusive recipe blends, that combine quinoa or chickpea flours with brown rice flour, white rice flour, sprouted brown rice flour and pea protein, to deliver a complete protein, taking the gluten-free high protein pasta category to a higher level. They offer higher levels of protein in every serving, higher nutritional value providing a COMPLETE protein and a higher level of confidence for consumers by using only simple blends of organic, non-GMO, egg, soy and dairy-free ingredients.

“Our business has always been about understanding the health issues related to gluten intolerance. Now, with the introduction of these new Pastariso Super Protein Pastas, we can satisfy the increasing demand from consumers for healthy and tasty gluten-free options with the added benefit of high protein content,” explained Denis Peres, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “Research shows that “high in protein” is the second most important food purchase influencer for US consumers. 61% of respondents supported this fact*. So, it was important for us to expand our gluten-free product line to include the high protein pasta choices that these consumers are looking for.”

Protein is vital for health. Made up of amino acids, it builds and repairs your body tissues, especially muscle. To deliver complete nutrition for a healthy mind and body, you need a complete protein which is made up of the nine essential amino acids. It’s a fact that high protein foods provide 20% or more of the daily requirement of protein per serving. Pastariso Super Protein Pastas are an excellent source of this COMPLETE protein with 18 grams or more per 3.5 ounce serving, over 30% of the daily requirement.

Unlike other high protein pastas, Pastariso Super Protein Pastas are made with all organic, non-GMO ingredients that are easily digestible. They offer the natural taste and desirable texture of traditional pastas, so the flavors of favorite seasonings and sauces shine through. Strict manufacturing standards ensure the absence of any dairy, egg, nuts or soy. Incredibly delicious, Pastariso Quinoa and Chickpea Pastas are available in both Penne and Spaghetti styles.
