White Pasta &ndash; Compared <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main difference between white and brown pasta is the flour used to make it.  White pasta is made with white refined flour, and brown pasta is made with whole-grain flour, which contains, as the name suggests, &lsquo;the whole grain.&rsquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With white pasta flour (usually Durum flour), the husk part of the grain is removed to produce a smooth, refined flour, and when this flour is used to make pasta, it creates a light-colored, more delicate product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whole grain pasta has a distinctive brown color which comes from whole grain flour, this produces a nuttier and more robust flavor, and it&rsquo;s suggested that brown pasta is the heather option compared to white pasta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ingredients\">Ingredients Comparision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are the typical ingredients used to make brown and white pasta (I used Barilla for this comparison).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, wholegrain pasta contains one simple ingredient, whole grain durum wheat flour, whereas the white version also contains semolina and is fortified with added vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although not all pasta is fortified, this is typical of products that use white flour (including bread), where the manufacturer adds extra nutrients to a product that has little nutritional value.  In contrast, whole grain products have naturally occurring nutrients meaning they don&rsquo;t need to be fortified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that these are typical ingredients that may vary between brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Brown Pasta Ingredients<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>White Pasta Ingredients<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Whole Grain Durum Wheat Flour<\/td><td>Semolina (Wheat), Durum Wheat Flour, Vitamins\/Minerals: Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Iron (Ferrous Sulfate), Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Mononitrate), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Folic Acid<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/brown-pasta-vs-white-1.jpg\" alt=\"brown dry pasta on the left and white on the right to show the difference\" class=\"wp-image-1510\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20392%2058'%3E%3Crect%20width='392'%20height='58'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"brown dry pasta on the left and white on the right to show the difference\" class=\"wp-image-1510 eager-load\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Shot-2021-10-08-at-9.22.33-AM.png\" width=\"392\" height=\"58\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" loading=\"eager\" data-src=\"https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/brown-pasta-vs-white-1.jpg.webp\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"nutrition\">Brown Vs.

One of the main reasons people switch to whole-grain versions of pasta, bread, and rice is the benefits you get from an increased amount of fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When it comes to fiber in pasta, whole-grain is the clear winner, with 8g per 100g (dry weight) compared to only 3g per 100g in white pasta.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you&rsquo;re looking to make changes to your diet to increase your fiber intake, whole-grain pasta is an excellent swap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><strong>Pasta<\/strong> Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Dietary Fibre Per 100g<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wholegrain (Dried) Pasta<\/td><td>8g<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>White (Dried) Pasta<\/td><td>3g<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"sodium\">Best for Sodium\/Salt Content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically neither brown nor white pasta have any added sodium, which was the case for the brand I compared.  If you&rsquo;re on a low sodium diet, it&rsquo;s a good idea to check the pack before buying, as some brands may add salt to the ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong><strong>Pasta<\/strong> Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Sodium\/Salt Per 100g<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wholegrain (Dried) Pasta<\/td><td>0mg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>White (Dried) Pasta<\/td><td>0mg<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"vitamins\">Best for Vitamins\/Minerals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;ve compared white Barilla pasta against their whole-grain version, and the white dried pasta is fortified with certain vitamins and minerals. In contrast, brown pasta has naturally occurring vitamins and minerals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The comparison table below confirms that brown pasta contains more kinds of vitamins and minerals and in most cases, it contains higher levels of each nutrient, making brown pasta the healthier option in this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Vitamin\/Mineral Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>White Pasta Daily Value % per Serving<\/strong><\/td><td><strong><strong>Brown Pasta Daily Value % per Serving<\/strong><\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vitamin D<\/td><td>0%<\/td><td>0%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Calcium<\/td><td>&ndash;<\/td><td><strong>2%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Iron<\/td><td>10%<\/td><td>10%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Phosphorus<\/td><td>&ndash;<\/td><td><strong>20%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Potassium<\/td><td>2%<\/td><td><strong>6%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Magnesium<\/td><td>&ndash;<\/td><td><strong>15%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thiamin<\/td><td>40%<\/td><td>40%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Riboflavin<\/td><td>15%<\/td><td><strong>25%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Manganese<\/td><td>&ndash;<\/td><td><strong>70%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Niacin<\/td><td>30%<\/td><td><strong>45%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Folic Acid<\/td><td><strong>50%<\/strong><\/td><td>&ndash;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Zinc<\/td><td>&ndash;<\/td><td><strong>20%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/decorative-image-of-brown-pasta-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1515\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weighschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/decorative-image-of-brown-pasta-1.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1515 lazyload\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" loading=\"lazy\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"flavor\">Best for Flavor\/Texture<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The final category is flavor and texture, which is probably the most difficult to judge because the taste of a food is subjective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, when we eat pasta, we add flavor with sauces and fillings because pasta alone tends to be a little bit boring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whole-grain pasta has a nutty, more robust flavor than white pasta, which is relatively bland in flavor, but that&rsquo;s not to everyone&rsquo;s taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out the public favorite between brown and white pasta, we&rsquo;re holding a poll to get a general opinion.
