 Vegan Organic Kosher ChoiceOct 27, 2007

Vegan. Organic. Kosher. Whole wheat. Great nutty flavor. Excellent all-around pasta with your favorite organic pasta sauce. Try sometime with organic chili for a nice meal. Recyclable cardboard box. Also like Hodgson Mill Organic Whole Wheat Spirals with Milled Flaxseed, 10-Ounce Units (Pack of 8) for a occasional "fun" change. This review is out there for those for whom this makes a difference. See all of my reviews for more great choices. Check out "Vegan Grocery Favorites" and "Vegan Grocery Top Ten" in Listmania. Your "helpful" votes count and will be greatly appreciated to benefit the search of others. Thank you.

 Certainly taste the difference...Jan 04, 2007
By ivorycassiopeia
Depending on your specific tastes, this may be a good or a bad thing. I happen to like this pasta, but I also like most whole wheat/whole grain foods. You can definitely tell that this is not regular pasta...so it's up to you to weigh the taste/health benefits ratio.

Decent product, packaging leaves something to be desiredNov 30, 2010
By Aubade d'Ergine
It's expensive to eat healthy these days, so it's great when a deal like this comes along. At this price point, Hodgson Mill beats most other organic brands by a noticeable margin.
Now about the pasta itself:
What can one really say about taste and texture that is not entirely subjective? It all depends on personal tastes. I love whole-grain products and am therefore accustomed to the taste but who knows, some people who are not used to it might liken it to cardboard. Texture-wise, if you're cooking it al dente, it is as expected. I don't care what any pretentious 'foodie' says, at the end of the day, there are only so many (useful) ways of describing pasta. And I love pasta.
The penne cooks quickly enough and I was rather surprised, having recently developed a habit of obsessively checking the stove every thirty seconds due to what I call the gluten-free mushtastrophe.
I like that the pasta contains flaxseed what with the added nutritional benefits and all. That having been said, heat/ radiation -and by association, overcooking- destroys most of said nutrients so keep that in mind when preparing any dish.
The only aspect of this product that I can genuinely take issue with is the container. No matter how you open it, large remnants of the adjoining cardboard remains stuck to the inner flap and closing the box remains an inelegant venture to say the least. Still, that's why rubber bands were invented and it's hardly a reason to hold it against the pasta.
Happy masticating!

This pasta is hearty-tasting and healthy. This company makes great products all around. I love them. And Amazon's price for this item is great.
