Energy in pasta
Pasta is characterized by high energy and moderate protein content (11-12%).
Its nutritional properties result from its digestibility (its starch content is 70-75%).
Its calory contents is approximately 350 Kcal per 100 grams. On the other hand its fat content is quite low (less than 1%).
Pasta contains few vitamins and is unbalanced as far as the mineral salt content is concerned since potassium is prevalent. In spite of this, the addition of different ingredients (meat, fish, legumes, vegetables and various sauces) changes its nutritional value favourably.
