Ingredient
Wheat Gluten
Scout's take
Wheat gluten is added to improve the elasticity and texture of pasta, providing a chewy consistency. It is a concentrated source of gluten, which helps maintain the structure of the pasta during cooking. While it enhances texture, it does not provide additional nutritional benefits.
