The look, texture and taste are similar to normal pasta and I really like it, my girlfriend enjoyed it too. Plus it's filling. Highly recommended
-
I'm really super happy with it! It holds up well when cooked, has a fairly neutral taste and goes perfectly with any sauce, just like traditional pasta.For me it's mainly been a really convenient solution…

The Small Giants extra touch
Yeast protein: what's really inside
It's not an animal, and technically it's not a plant either: it's a microscopic fungus. As it ferments, it produces complete protein, rich in fibre and vitamins.
-
What does it taste like?
On its own (grated topping, Crunchy Puffs) it has a naturally umami, cheesy taste. When only the protein is isolated, the flavour turns neutral: that's why it goes into pasta and taralli without changing their taste.
-
Is it the same yeast as in pizza?
The very same, but don't worry: nobody rises like dough on the sofa. It's a microscopic fungus that, as it ferments, produces complete protein, rich in fibre and vitamins.
-
How do I use it?
Sprinkle the grated topping on your pasta dishes instead of cheese, or munch on the Crunchy Puffs: at aperitivo time they're perfect for dipping in guacamole.
- Complete protein, rich in fibre and vitamins
- Umami naturally cheesy taste, on its own
- Neutral when only the protein is isolated: it goes into pasta and taralli

Quality counts too
Complete protein
Proteins are made of amino acids, the way a puzzle is made of pieces. Nine are essential: the body doesn't produce them, so they have to come from food. Some foods contain only a few of them; our protein sources contain them all.
As it ferments, yeast produces complete protein, with all 9 essential amino acids and no ingredients of animal origin.
9/9essential amino acids
- Histidine
- Isoleucine
- Leucine
- Lysine
- Methionine
- Phenylalanine
- Threonine
- Tryptophan
- Valine
This refers to the protein source used in the product.
