Cold stone ground and slow dried, it offers a naturally low glycemic index and high fiber content, promoting stable blood sugar and digestive ease. Crafted with traditional bronze-cut techniques, this unbleached, non-enriched pasta delivers authentic flavor and texture for health-conscious food lovers seeking artisanal quality. ## Description At Papa Vince, we're reviving the artisanal techniques and ancient grains that have been lost in the era of industrialized food production. Our pasta marries the inherent goodness of ancient wheat grains with the time-honored methods of cold stone grinding and slow drying, creating a naturally low glycemic pasta that promotes stable blood sugar levels without compromising on taste or texture. Unlike modern grains that have been interbred to maximize carbohydrate content, ancient grains maintain the natural balance of fiber, protein, and carbohydrates that wheat was always meant to have. By utilizing these nutrient-dense powerhouses, we've created a pasta where you no longer have to fear "bad" carbs. The appropriate proportions of fiber, protein, and carbohydrates work synergistically to slow down digestion and promote a lower glycemic response. Our traditional cold stone grinding process maintains the integrity of the entire wheat berry, ensuring that the natural fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and polyphenols are preserved within their original food matrix. This preservation of the food matrix allows for a synergistic interplay of nutrients that promotes slower digestion and sustained energy release. The final step in our artisanal process is slow drying, which preserves the wheat's natural starch structure and ensures that the inherently lower gluten content found in ancient grains remains unaltered. This not only results in a pasta that is slower to digest but also gentler on the digestive system thanks to its unaltered, lower gluten content. Choose Papa Vince's pasta for a naturally low glycemic, digestive-friendly option that promotes stable blood sugar levels and improved digestive comfort without sacrificing taste or texture. Review: Le ho regalate ad una persona che vive all'estero e le ha fatte con un sugo al salmone per la vigilia di Natale. Tutti i commensali sono rimasti sroresi dalla bontà e qualità bdi questa pasta! Prodotto di specifiche superiori alla norma e qualità straordinaria! Review: This pasta is really different. It is not made with Durum wheat, but with Tumminia, an ancient variety of wheat native to Sicily the way Khorasan wheat is native to the Khorasan region of ancient Persia. Tumminia has a higher quality nutrition profile than modern wheat. It is also lower gluten, making it more digestible, but this also means it is not as springy or chewy. So, the key is to forget al dente and cook it well. Whole grain Tumminia has an earthy and soft flavor that goes well with the simple bold sauces of the cucina povera tradition, but is definitely a departure from the bouncy convention of modern Durum pasta. ## Features - 2 packs (500 g each).

It’s non-GMO, non-enriched, stone-ground, bronze-die cut, and slow-dried for authentic texture, flavor, and quality. **Q: What does Tumminia pasta taste like?** A: Tumminia wheat gives this pasta a naturally nutty, slightly sweet flavor with real depth. It tastes full and balanced—never bland or cardboard-like—allowing both simple olive oil and hearty sauces to shine. **Q: Is this a hearty, satisfying whole-grain pasta?** A: Yes. Made from 100% whole Tumminia wheat, it’s naturally rich in fiber and protein for a satisfying, steady meal. Crafted without enrichment or additives, it delivers wholesome nourishment the traditional Sicilian way. **Q: Is this pasta enriched or fortified?** A: No. Our Tumminia pasta is never enriched or fortified. It naturally retains fiber, B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants thanks to traditional stone milling and slow drying—just as pasta was made in Sicily for generations. **Q: Why does this pasta hold sauce so well?** A: It’s bronze-die cut, which creates a coarse, porous surface that helps sauces cling to the pasta. Unlike smooth industrial noodles, every bite stays coated for a richer, more satisfying eating experience. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***N on 5 December 2019* Le ho regalate ad una persona che vive all'estero e le ha fatte con un sugo al salmone per la vigilia di Natale.
