Happy Earth People Green Penne Pasta (Gluten-free, Vegan) – 250g or 1kg

R47.20R159.20

Happy Earth People Green Pea Penne Pasta is made from nothing but 100% green peas. It offers 23% protein and has plenty of pre-biotic fibre.  The high protein and fibre content keeps you fuller for longer, while remaining naturally and totally gluten-free.

It is organic, healthy, low GI, gluten-free, wheat-free, GMO-free, dairy-free and vegan – with a slight green pea taste and firm, dense texture – different from regular pasta but close enough that it won’t detract from a delicious, hearty meal!

Bonus – it is locally made, the practical yet innovative packaging is completely plastic free and the legumes were grown using sustainable farming methods, meaning in this case, what’s good for you is also good for the earth… we say yes peas!

Description

If you crave pasta, but want to avoid the usual gluten and high GI, high carbs content – then this is the answer! Made entirely from legumes, green peas in this case – this pasta has a slight green pea taste and firm, dense texture, but without the downsides of wheat-based pasta. The texture and taste is different, admittedly, but similar enough to be familiar and endearing. It is also high in protein, prebiotic fibre and minerals – a great nutritional addition to any diet, also suitable for kids and especially for vegans and vegetarians.

Did you know? Eating a variety of legumes 3-4 times a week, can help prevent chronic illnesses including heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer and weight gain as well as improve gut health.
