Whole grains in wholemeal pasta deliver many important minerals and nutrients in particular B vitamins; niacin, thiamine, folate and good amounts of zinc, iron, magnesium and manganese. Whole grains also provide you with antioxidants, healthy fats such as vitamin E and are a great source of carbohydrates, fibre and protein.
Fibre in the bran is slow to breakdown in the digestive tract, helping to maintain steady blood sugars, lower your cholesterol as well as helping to prevent blood clots which can lead to bigger issues like heart attack and stroke!
