MORE DETAILS
Eden Vegetable Spirals are made from organic carrot, organic beet, organic spinach, organic annatto powder, and organic golden amber durum wheat flour (Triticum aestivum), the most sought after pasta making grain in the world, favored for its superior nutrition and ability to create smooth firm texture. This grain is USA high plains grown on family farms committed to building vital soil, cleansing the environment, and producing the safest most nutritious food.
Eden Small Vegetable Spirals are small batch hand crafted at the Eden Organic Pasta Company, a Detroit landmark using traditional pasta making techniques and vintage Italian equipment since 1923, and the first food production facility in North America to be third party certified organic. Whole grain durum is ground at our organic, AIB highly rated, Michigan mill. Golden amber durum semolina is prepared at a certified organic mill. The dough is prepared in four separate batches - plain semolina wheat; semolina blended with organic carrot and organic annatto powder; semolina blended with organic beet powder; and semolina blended with organic spinach powder. Slow, thorough kneading prepares the dough. Using a traditional screw shaft press, each of the four separate batches of dough is extruded through an artisan brass sea shell die, cut into individual pieces and spread on drying racks. The pasta goes through an initial hot steam dryer to reduce moisture slowly and then to the drying room for about 16 hours. After the pasta is dry an equal amount of each of the four different color pastas are weighed and combined before packaging. Each step helps to create pasta of exceptional flavor, texture, and character.
Commercial pasta is made from highly refined, chemically treated flour, processed in minutes through Teflon dies and ultra high heat or microwave drying, resulting in inferior flavor, diminished nutrition, poor cooking quality, and questionable value.
Eden Vegetable Spirals are low in fat and are a good source of protein and folate B9. According to the FDA, 'Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease associated with many factors.'
