605.0. "whole grain pasta... where?" by PAXVAX::MCGRAY () Thu Sep 13 1990 21:19

Hi there,

I am currently on a low-fat, low-sugar, low-refined carbohydrate 
diet (no calorie counting at all, just eat right).  It's working 
great and I feel much healthier.  I eat alot of whole grain breads
and cereals, which I love.  Someone told me that whole wheat pasta
(the kind with no white flour in it, enriched or not) was good, 
and it sounds like an alternative for spaghetti, which of course is 
white flour based.  The problem is I can't find any!  I've looked in 
all the big supermarkets (Purity, Victory, Sudbury Farms, Star)
and they don't carry it.  Does anyone know where I can buy some?
I live in Sudbury.

Thanks!
Julie

	Julie, Most (all?) health food stores will carry whole wheat pastas. In fact, you will also find artichoke flour pasta! My favorite is in Westboro, which really isn't that far from you. It's called "Simple Enough", and is at the intersection of Lyman St. and Rte. 9. That is the intersection that has on its four corners a Burger King, Shell station, Mobil station, and a building called "Factory Town, U.S.A.". Factory Town is where simple enough is located. Park in the back. This is a very small mall, with about 8 stores. "Simple Enough" is the size of small grocery store, but it is pretty large for a health food store. E Grace
605.3	Try a Health Food store...	CADSE::SCHWARTZ		`Fri Sep 14 1990 13:54`	6
	I have seen whole wheat pasta in some health food stores in the Mass./NH area. I can't remember which ones though. Bread and Circus (there's one off Route 9 in Brookline?, and also one in Cambridge) should carry it also. -L

	I was going to mention the pasta made with Jerusalem artichoke flour (Hi E Grace!). I live in Calilfornia so I can't tell you where to purchase it in your area but I do highly recommend it. YUM! with love, cheyenne

	Pinches and Pounds in Shrewsbury Village carries a couple types of whole wheat pasta, too. Karen
605.6	found a place	PAXVAX::MCGRAY		`Mon Sep 17 1990 19:32`	10
	Hi, I found a place... it's Concord Grains and Spices at 93 Thoreau street in Concord, MA. I was in a rush, so I didn't get to look around at what else was in there, but they did have wheat pasta. Thanks!
