    Wegmans Super Pasta penne rigate - this is probably the worst
    product from this store I've ever tasted. It has the
    characteristic spoiled aroma and taste of whole wheat but in
    fact is made of a bizarre witch's brew - durum semolina, whole
    wheat durum flour, kamut, corn starch, pea protein, egg white,
    flaxseed, dicalcium phosphate, ferrous sulfate, niacin,
    vitamin D, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid.

    I've not seen any reason to even try Wegmans Super Pastas... and that ingredient list is one of the reasons why not.... That appears to show
    the influence of the daughter that's into the going natural, organic and
    vegan etc. aspects.... and a bit overboard at that....

    Brownish in color with an aroma of oldness and rancidity, I
    first thought it was ancient, but it was well within its due date.

    Possibly due to some of those "interesting" ingredients...? Not sure
    what kamut is, but probably another grain...? The pea protein I'd look
    a little askance at alst...

    Cooked up rubbery, though I admit it held its sauce well
    (there's a reason for the rigate). Taste of whole wheat, with
    the aroma miraculously sticking to the strainer even after
    washing afterward.

    Oh, dear... Not too bad for people that like whole wheat, which
    generally Richard and I do, but after a brief fling years ago with whole
    wheat pastas, we decided that it wasn't worth the extra cost or hassle
    (back then it wasn't readily available at supermarkets).... this seems
    to have kept any benefit but added more drawbacks to the use...
