RKDA has been extending its reach and offering customers better-for-you pasta that tastes wonderful and has considerable health advantages as consumer demand for nutritious alternatives to their favorite comfort meals continues to rise. Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020–2025 state that less than 10% of Americans consume the daily recommended amount of fiber. Thanks to GoodWheat, people can now eat their favorite pasta dishes and yet receive the protein and fiber they require.

For the 60% of American adults who want to boost their fiber consumption to enhance their healthy digestion, cardiovascular health, weight management, and other health conditions, GoodWheat pasta has four times as much fiber as ordinary pasta: 8g per serving compared to 2g in conventional wheat pasta. GoodWheat pasta is also strong in prebiotic fiber to promote gut health and immunity and offers 9 grams of protein per serving, which is nearly 25% more than the 7g in most standard pastas.
