Rotini Chickpeas Pasta

Whether you adhere to a gluten-free diet or simply want to add a boost of protein to your weekly pasta night, Banza’s rotini is a great choice because it swaps out traditional starches in favor of chickpea powder. The result is pasta that cooks, tastes, and looks just like the real thing but packs in twice the amount of protein and four times the amount of fiber per serving—with half the net carbs. Not only is it gluten-free but it’s also vegan and kosher, so everyone at the table can enjoy it. Use Banza Gluten-Free Rotini Chickpea Pasta in all your favorite recipes: Toss with a good marinara and roasted seasonal vegetables, or whip up a simple protein-rich pasta salad for your next potluck party.

It’s official: Thrive Market is taking over your pantry in the best possible way. We now offer a variety of wholesome baking ingredients and nutritious grains. It’s the perfect collection for all dietary needs and healthy cravings. Make room in your cupboards and let’s get cooking!
<p>
<p>
<b>ARE THERE HEALTH BENEFITS? </b>
The new Thrive Market flours and grains are all organic, non-GMO, kosher, vegan, and contain no added sugars, sweeteners, dyes, or color additives. 
<p>
<b>WHAT IS SPROUTING? </b>
A regular grain is essentially a seed that you could put into the ground and it will become a plant. Sprouting allows these grain seeds to germinate, but then harvests them well before they bloom. In order for a shoot to grow, it digests starch from the seed, using it as energy to break through the outer shell. Therefore sprouted grains are lower in starch, and higher in nutrients like proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
<p>
<b>WHAT MAKES THRIVE MARKET PRODUCTS UNIQUE? </b>
The concept of sprouting is not a new one, but what is new is access and affordability. A lot of sprouted products are hard to find or too expensive to use regularly, until now. It’s the Thrive Market way: We offer high quality at a low, low price.
<P>
<b>HOW DO I USE THEM?</b>
This collection of baking essentials, sides, and snacks are incredibly versatile. Many of the flours are great for baking breads and sweets, coating fish and or poultry, or thickening soups and gravies. For example, garbanzo bean flour is a good base for savory items, like gluten-free pizza crust or pasta, spelt flour makes perfect pancakes or waffles. And of course, brown rice and quinoa are mealtime favorites— either as a side, or mixed with meat or veggies for the main. Read the back of each package to find new uses and recipes on how to make them.

Made from 100% certified organic Koroneiki olives, our extra-virgin olive oil is grown, harvested, and bottled on a single estate in western Crete.

Gluten-Free Rotini Chickpea Pasta by Banz - Thrive Market

<p><a href="https://thrivemarket.com/diets/gluten-free-diet"target="_blank">Gluten-free</a> dinners used to be the stuff of dreams deferred. (Goodbye mac and cheese, hello leafy salads.) But today’s inventive brands are making formerly gluten-based ingredients available to all, often with added health benefits to boot. Take Banza, a startup pasta company that makes penne, spaghetti, shells, and other favorite noodle shapes all with one key ingredient: chickpea flour.

Joining forces with his brother, Scott, the duo’s innovative approach to pasta went from an idea to a product in 14,000+ stores in just five years, and is now the fastest-selling pasta brand in Whole Foods and Target. Banza has been named one of TIME’s 25 Best Inventions of the year, appeared on The Today Show and Good Morning America, been in the NYT and WSJ, and most importantly, brought a better pasta to millions of happy customers.</p>
<h2>Banza Company Mission</h2>
