Functional Pasta
Functional pasta is pasta enriched with healthy ingredients like dietary fiber, proteins, or antioxidants that provide additional health benefits beyond regular pasta. It supports better digestion, blood sugar control, and heart health.
Whole Grain Rice
Whole grain rice retains its bran and germ layers untouched, making it rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It aids digestion, weight management, and provides sustained energy throughout the day.

This shelf suits anyone who wants an everyday carb dish with more fibre or more protein than regular white pasta. The main difference is the base: whole wheat, barley or oats with psyllium for fibre; lentil, quinoa, chickpea, chicken and seafood versions for higher protein; and brown or black rice for whole grains labelled gluten-free. Packs start from around 64 EGP.
How to choose
- For more fibre, choose whole wheat, barley or oat-psyllium pasta, and start with smaller portions to let digestion adjust.
- Chasing protein? Compare nutrition labels across lentil, quinoa, chickpea, chicken and seafood options.
- Most options contain wheat flour, even some rice pasta; read ingredients carefully if you avoid gluten.
- Match the shape to the dish: lasagna for baking, fettuccine or spaghetti for sauces, orzo for soups.
- Have diabetes, kidney concerns or a prescribed diet? Ask the pharmacist about suitable portions.
Frequently asked questions
Is this pasta gluten-free?
Most varieties are made from or blended with wheat flour, including the chickpea pasta and the rice-and-whole-wheat pasta as described. The brown rice and black rice are labelled gluten-free. If you have coeliac disease or a wheat allergy, check the pack label carefully and ask the pharmacist before ordering.
Will healthier pasta help me lose weight?
Higher fibre may help you feel full for longer, but these are still carbohydrate foods with calories. Portion size and the sauce you add make the real difference. Compare calories on the pack and treat it as one part of a balanced diet rather than a solution on its own.
Is it suitable for people with diabetes?
Whole grains and fibre may support slower carbohydrate absorption compared with white pasta, but they do not replace your treatment plan or mean unlimited portions. Watch your serving size, check your blood sugar after trying it, and ask the pharmacist or your doctor what portion suits you.
Does it taste or cook differently from regular pasta?
Expect a slightly nuttier, grainier taste, and colours vary in options like beetroot or moringa. Cooking times can differ between types, so follow the pack instructions and taste before draining since some soften quickly. Try one pack of a variety before buying in bulk.
How do payment and delivery work?
You can pay cash on delivery, and orders usually arrive within 12 to 72 hours depending on your area. Packs range roughly from 64 to 120 EGP, so you can combine several types in one order to try different shapes and flavours and see what your household prefers.
