Have you ever heard of Dreamfields Pasta? I hadn’t. We just tried it out, and we liked it. As an Italian girl, I like my carbs in the form of pasta (ok, and bread!) Little Man is a pasta freak as well, and he also enjoyed it. The difference between Dreamfields Pasta and other pastas is that it has twice the fiber, fewer digestible carbohydrates and a lower glycemic index than traditional pasta. Plus- it didn’t taste like garbage the way most “healthy” pasta does, LOL. It tasted….like pasta! (Really- it did.)
Would I use it again? Sure!

Product Description:
Dreamfields is a delicious pasta with twice the fiber (5 grams; 20% of the daily recommendation), fewer digestible
carbohydrates and a lower glycemic index than regular pasta. Its delectable taste and nutritional benefits make it
a healthful option for people with diabetes and a flavorful, nourishing pasta for the entire family.

Why It’s Unique:
• Dreamfields’ patent-pending recipe and manufacturing process protects all but 5 grams of the carbohydrates
per serving from being digested and therefore lessens post-meal blood glucose rise as compared to regular pasta.
• Dreamfields contains inulin; a 100% natural prebiotic fiber found in common foods such as Jerusalem
artichokes (sunchokes), asparagus, garlic, raisins and chicory root. By providing a food source for the healthy
bacteria living in the gut, prebiotics such as inulin may: help promote healthy digestion, support a healthy
immune system, and improve calcium absorption. Inulin is a soluble fiber (like that found in oats, dried beans
and apples) which means it dissolves in water turns into a gel during digestion. As part of a healthful overall
eating plan, consuming enough soluble fiber may help reduce blood cholesterol and glucose levels.
• Dreamfields Pasta is the only pasta clinically shown to have a lower glycemic index than regular pasta (65% lower).
• Dreamfields has all of the flavor and texture of traditional pastas.
