90% Of Pasta On Grocery Store Shelves Is Contaminated With Teflon.
Shiny Smooth Pasta Dough Gets Extruded Thru Heated Teflon Die Plates.
This Releases PFAs Forever Chemicals Into Each Noodle.
Here Are Vital Shopping Tips For Choosing Non Teflon Pasta & Noodles At Every Store.
Pasta Is Cut In 2 Ways:
Teflon Die Cut (Avoid):
Teflon is cheaper on the shelf & replaced most bronze cut pasta because of profitability for big food manufacturers. Teflon, as we know, causes harmful health effects to the body, including neurological & cancer.
Teflon cut pasta signifies that the pasta dough has been squeezed thru a teflon extruder, which causes friction & subsequent heat, allowing PFAs forever chemicals to end up in the pasta. These pastas will be smooth, shiny & without any texture in appearance.
Bronze Drawn Die Cut (Preferred):
Bronze cut signifies that the pasta die cut mechanism used with the pasta extruder is made of pure bronze. There are no chemicals involved, which results in a healthy PFAs free pasta that is rough & textured looking in appearance.
Nearly all pasta on grocery-store shelves has been made with Teflon dies, which allows a quick & cheap production. These industrial teflon dies create extruded pastas with a slick teflon coated surface that’s nearly impenetrable to sauce or seasoned oils.
The same dough passing through pure chemical free bronze dies emerges with tiny abrasions on each strand of spaghetti or elbow macaroni. These abrasions allow sauce & seasoned oils to cling & saturate each forkful with rich flavor.
Labeling By Law:
*⃣ Teflon Cut pasta has no distinct labeling nor is it required to be stated as such.
*⃣ Bronze Drawn Cut pasta WILL 100% be labeled somewhere on the front or the back of the label.
Cost Considerations For Budget & Economics:
Prior to 2024, healthy bronze die cut pasta was higher priced than teflon pasta, but today the price per pound is almost identical & there are options for Bronze Drawn Die cut pasta in dollar stores, discount stores & bulk club stores.
Healthiest Nutrition Without Pesticides When Buying Pasta & Noodles:
Because of heavy pesticide & herbicide use in the US that contaminates all grains, when budget allows, look for pasta from Italy, GMO free & certified organic which will allow someone to enjoy pasta once in awhile free from GI distress & allergic reactions from chemical laden US grains.
