FAQs

Is this pasta suitable for coeliac diets?

Yes — the ingredients are certified gluten-free and no gluten-containing ingredients are used. However, always double-check your packaging to ensure no cross-contamination warnings.

Does the pasta taste like beetroot?

It has a subtle vegetal note, but the beetroot flavour is mild and mostly brings colour. Flavour remains neutral enough to pair with most sauces.

Are there any added colours or dyes?

No. The pink colour comes naturally from beetroot powder — no artificial colouring agents.

Can I toss this with cold dressings?

Yes, it holds up well in cold pasta salads and absorbs dressings without getting soggy too quickly.
