-- Ingredients
corn meal, water, E471
About emulsifier E471:
- Allows binding of starches in the absence of gluten
- It’s a mono-diglycerides of fatty acids (The diglycerides are derived
from non-GMOs vegetable plants: flax & sunflower seeds, which thru a
refining process become mono-diglycerides)
- It’s not a carcinogen and it’s present in everyday food (i.e cheese, ham, meat, eggs)
- The Italian Ministerial Decree #209 of ‘96 provides that E471 can be
added in any formula and Appendix 10 specifies that there are no
specific quantity guidelines, having been found absolutely harmless.
The appendix also specifies that it can be added to other ingredients in
the sufficient amount so as to make the dough workable/pliable.

I love this pasta. I had given up on gluten-free pastas but received this as a free sample from somewhere and decided I might as well try it. The taste and texture are both great--even in leftovers a week later, the pasta was still al dente and there were no off flavors at all--just pasta. Yummy.
