Mama Rosie's Launches Healthy-For-You Frozen Pasta Made with Whole Grains
Mama Rosie's new Low Fat Ravioli is made with a special combination of whole grains and the highest quality durum flour to give pasta-lovers a premium pasta flavor packed with five grams of fiber and 10 grams of protein.
16/02/07 The latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans has sparked new interest in whole grain foods as part of a healthy diet, with the recommendation of at least three whole grain food servings per day. Mama Rosie's, the premiere frozen pasta company in the Northeast, has responded to the cravings of a new generation of savvy, health-conscious consumers by introducing a great-tasting, better-for-you frozen pasta alternative. Mama Rosie's new Low Fat Ravioli offers all the nutritional benefits of whole grain wrapped in the great gourmet taste lovers of authentic ravioli have grown to love.
Mama Rosie's new Low Fat Ravioli is made with a special combination of whole grains and the highest quality durum flour to give pasta- lovers a premium pasta flavor packed with five grams of fiber and 10 grams of protein. It also is low in cholesterol and sodium, and provides a great source of calcium and iron. Made with delicious low fat ricotta cheese and just 210 calories per serving, the new Low Fat Ravioli is now available to consumers throughout the Northeast in supermarkets and grocery stores.
Recent research shows there are many proven benefits to adding whole grain to a well-balanced diet. According to the Whole Grain Council, "The medical evidence is clear that whole grains reduce risks of heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes and obesity. Few foods can offer such diverse benefits."
With these health benefits in mind, Mama Rosie's set out to create a recipe that matched the same gourmet taste of homemade pasta with the health benefits of whole grain. Using only the finest cheeses, the company then created an exclusive blend of whole grain and durum to provide the same delicate texture characteristics of hand-rolled pasta. The company also added the Italian favorite farro to the pasta dough, which is naturally high in fiber and contains significantly more protein than wheat. The result is a tempting new homemade taste that any pasta lover would crave. The company expects to expand its pasta line made with whole grains with new varieties in 2007.
