Banza is launching a new bucatini pasta shape at Whole Foods Market. The Banza Buccatini is gluten-free and has 50% more protein and three times more fiber than wheat-based pasta. Bucatini is comparable to spaghetti but has a thicker circumference with a hole in the center.
Whole Foods customers can enjoy the new pasta shape in the coming weeks at all locations across the U.S. Banza’s bucatini is the latest addition to its Whole Foods portfolio, which currently includes specialty items like mac & cheese.
“Our mission is to inspire people to eat more chickpeas and other beans, for their impact on human health and the environment,” said Brian Rudolph, CEO and co-founder of Banza. “When the great bucatini shortage hit, we knew we had to make this elusive shape from chickpeas. Turns out bucatini is a challenging shape to produce, but gratefully we pulled it off! We couldn’t be more excited to bring bucatini to the Banza community.”
