At the store, I saw Golden Grain Mission Reduced Carb 12 ounce Lasagna noodles. 2 ounces of lasagna noodles has 12 grams of fiber and 16 grams of protein ? I do not believe it! There is not that much fiber in wheat - and the ingredients do not show added fiber. Does anyone believe this label on this product? Ingredients - wheat, wheat starch, wheat protien - how can that yield in 2 ounces -- 1 gram fat, 31 grams carbs, 12 grams fiber, 1 gram sugar, and 16 grams of protien - I just can't belive it!

Modern food manufacturing allows separating something like wheat into its basic components like starch, fiber, and protein, and then reassembling these into food products in whatever ratio is desired. They do not need to specify this on the label. Steve

Thanks, I got a confirmation from the manufacturer: "Thank you for your interest in our products. The higher fiber and protein are from the added modified wheat starch and wheat protein isolate. The fiber that we use acts just like other fiber sources (like cereal). The protein is the same as wheat protein." - So, there is a free lunch in this world - 200 calories of pasta with 12 grams of fiber and 16 grams of protien with very little fat - sounds like a winner to me!

Wait till you taste it to declare it a winner. Most low carb pastas are notoriously unpalatable.
