Does dried pasta have added sugar?

I was wondering if dried pasta such as penne or spaghetti had added sugar or other artificial ingredients?
  • annefood Hey @Sim ! Dried pasta shouldn't contain any added sugar (or artificial ingredients). Typically the added sugar comes into play in jarred sauce—surprisingly, many tomato sauces have a lot of added...
  • Sim Thank you @annefood, looks like I'll be making my own pasta sauces from now on.
  • annefood You're welcome @Sim ! Making your own sauce is the definitely the best way to ensure good ingredients. Plus it's easy to freeze and have on hand. But when you are short of time and don't have any...

"School-based urban gardens can have a measurable positive impact on kids — from improving their diets to helping boost engagement with academics."
  • FarmerDave Every school should have a garden. I've seen it with my own eyes how effective they are at teaching foundational lessons while also inspiring curiosity with nature.

  • Emy hi. I'm not an expert, but my grandpa used to say, that honey is good for everything!
    Just use a little bit instead of sugar to sweet your meals :)
  • bestekaracay Thank you and to your grandpa! I will use just a little bit :)
  • annefood Hey @bestekaracay ! While @Emy 's Grandpa is right that honey can have health benefits—local honey is said to help with allergies, for example (shout out to @Emy 's Grandpa!) honey does count as an...

  • DietID_TeamDietitians Great question. Many wheat tortillas do have added sugar, e.g. Mission brand tortillas and Mayan tortillas. However there are some great brands that I love that don't have added sugar like the...
  • annefood Good question @saidaj . Yes, many store-bought tortillas do contain added sugar (Mission, for example). The best bet is a small, local brand that uses only a few ingredients. Unfortunately that...
  • saidaj Well, I live in Mexico and the tortillas that my mom buys are handmade and not store bought. Thus, there is no label.

I knew the number was high, but this is pretty sad. I'm sure part of the issue is that healthier food options don't have budgets for celebrity endorsements.
  • darkchocolatepeanutbutter I don't like this trend at all. It reminds me of when celebrities endorsed cigarettes in advertisements. I'm glad Michelle Obama has celebrities endorsing fruits and veggies for her campaign but...
  • munchiemummy There should definitely be limitations on junk food advertising, just like there is for alcohol and cigarettes. Unfortunately, big food would put up a big fight.
  • etsummer I think it's harder too that junk foods are more branded. Easier to advertise Coca Cola than just 'zucchini' or 'peaches' in general.
