今注目を集めている What Are Pasta Noodles Made Ofについて、多角的な視点をご紹介しています。

Yes, that G-word. Gluten is the protein matrix we mentioned earlier. In pasta, it’s what gives it that chewy, satisfying spring.

If you’re gluten-free, don’t panic. You can find pasta made from rice flour, corn flour, quinoa flour, or even chickpea flour. They behave differently—they can be a bit more fragile—but they’re still delicious.

Chickpea pasta even has extra protein. Eating it makes you feel like a health guru, even if you drown it in cheese.

What About the Color? (It’s Not Magic)

You see green pasta, red pasta, black pasta. What gives? It’s mostly spinach (green), tomato (red), or squid ink (black).

These are added during the mixing process. The flavor is subtle, but the visual effect is chef’s kiss. It’s like dressing up your pasta for a night out.

And yes, that bright yellow color in some dried pasta? That’s no yolk—it’s often from semolina’s natural golden hue, or a tiny bit of added turmeric or annatto. Keeps it fun.
