ReGrained and Semolina Artisanal Pasta teamed up to create an upcycled pasta product that puts spent grain from California breweries to good use. Strozzapreti takes the form of a scroll-like pasta and it's made from a blend of durum semolina and ReGrained SuperGrain+ flour. As such, the pasta product boasts more than three times the fiber and two times the protein of traditional whole grain flours, as well as the benefits of prebiotics to support digestion.
In terms of taste, the addition of the ReGrained SuperGrain+ flour is said to add a "nutty, toasted flavor" that works well with the artisanal pasta.
This upcycled pasta is set to be available to consumers and foodservice operators beginning in October.
