What started you making grain-free and gluten-free Pasta?
My son has an intolerance to wheat and so we decided to experiment in making gluten free pasta. Also a close friend who has four children with severe allergies wanted a pasta that was not only gluten free but also GRAIN free. After about a year of experimenting we got it right! So by word of mouth our 'home' pasta became a growing business.
Why the name PASTA AT HOME?
When we started our business Leah was a single mum with two young children. She married Jason while still experimenting with recipes. As the business was 'Cottage' based we felt the name PASTA AT HOME captured what we where doing - "making quality homemade pasta"
What ingredients are in PASTA AT HOME pasta?
Potato, Tapioca, Quinoa, Amaranth, Guar Gum, Bi Carbonate Soda and Water.
What is Amaranth?
Amaranth is a very popular food source used in Africa, Asia and South America. The seed of the amaranth flower is milled into a flour which we use. This seed was popular with many ancient civilizations including the Aztecs. The Amaranth seed is made into a flour which is high in protein and contains Lysine and Methionine, two essential amino acids. It is a good source of dietary fibre, iron, magnesium and manganese.
What is Quinoa?
Quinoa another ancient Aztec seed. Quinoa is an edible seed that is fast becoming very popular, especially for people interested in increasing their protein intake. Quinoa is a complete protein as it includes all nine essential amino acids, and is a good source of magnesium, iron, copper and phosphorous
