Only 5 grams of digestible carbs per serving
65% lower glycemic index than regular pasta
Twice the fiber of regular pasta with authentic pasta taste
Naturally cholesterol free and 0 grams of trans fat
Dreamfields is delicious pasta with 5g of fiber, only 5g of digestible carbohydrates per serving and a very low
glycemic index. Its delectable taste and nutritional benefits make it a healthful option for people with diabetes and
a flavorful, nourishing pasta for the entire family.
Dreamfields' unique manufacturing process and fiber protein blend entrap and protect all but 5 grams of the
carbohydrates per serving from being digested and therefore lessens post-meal blood glucose rise as
compared to regular pasta. Dreamfields contains inulin; a 100% natural prebiotic fiber found in common foods such as Jerusalem
artichokes (sunchokes), asparagus, garlic, raisins and chicory root. By providing a food source for the healthy
bacteria living in the gut, prebiotics such as inulin may help promote: digestive health, satiety, and calcium
absorption. Inulin is a soluble fiber (like that found in oats, dried beans and apples) which means it dissolves in
water turning into a gel during digestion. As part of a healthful overall eating plan, consuming enough soluble
fiber may help reduce blood cholesterol and glucose levels. Dreamfields Pasta has a very low glycemic index of 13.
Dreamfields has all of the flavor and texture of traditional pastas.
Please note: We cannot guarantee that the lasagna noodles will arrive in perfect condition. Due to the manufacturing process, the box used to package the lasagna contains extra space. This extra space allows the product to move about during transit and can cause the noodles to break. We will continue to place extra care in packaging your order to allow the least amount of movement; however, it is beyond our control to eliminate breakage. Due to this, we are unable to provide any compensation for broken noodles.
How it works: We teach that total carbohydrates minus fiber is the actual carb content. How do you figure 5 grams of digestible carbohydrates in a 2 ounce serving of Dreamfields? How do the digestible carbohydrates work?

Dreamfield's pasta really is real pasta! Taste, texture, compatibility with ingredients, all these things are there. My family, a very suspicious bunch, cannot tell the difference between Dreamfield's and regular. Now here's the disclaimer: You cannot use Dreamfield's as leftovers for the low carbers in your family. It is still delicious but the fiber that protects the carbs from digestion must disappear when stored with a sauce. I always have a weight gain if I eat the leftovers but none if I eat the pasta fresh eat time. So I just serve them to hubby and kids the next day.
The Curse of those that can no longer indulge in regular pasta because of its high Carbohydrates count has been overshadowed by the Blessing of Dreamfields Pasta and by God! Is enough to make you want to sing a sonnata while boiling the spaghetti or Linguini and anticipating the real taste of great pasta on a plate. Be that with meat sauce, shrimp with fresh garlic and olive oil (the latest good news on garlic makes me want to imitate the great Pavarotti-hope I spelled it right-with a high pitch note while draining the hot Dreamfields pasta and throwing it into a hot pan for a domestic American version of the stir fry with noodles)and as one can see I could go on and on but I better not. Why? Because I am starving, that is why and sufficient is to say that this company has the interest of culinary citizens like myself close at heart. It is hard to find the real deal with these kind of numbers so for all of you who treasures a small feast with pasta, quality parmesan or giorgino cheese, the road is wide open. Enjoy and at least for a night stop worrying about guilts and sugar spikes (oh how I dislike my diabetes!) and sit down with your loved ones and serve them all the pasta. No need to reveal the net carb count. Not this time for it will taste as good as the best. Can I show any more enthusiasm? I didn't think so either...
On a side note my compliments to Netrition.com, by far the most shopped low carb place for this Pavarotti wannabee! Love their style, products and S&H charges!
This review is specific to Low-Digestible Pasta, Linguine
This pasta is so good, I found it hard to believe that it's low carb. BUT IT IS! The taste and texture are spot on. I'll never use anything else.
I was so glad to see they add lasagna noodles to the line up. My vote for the next addition would be an egg noodle version like my mom used to put in her chicken stews.
Dreamfields rocks!
WOW! WOW! WOW!
I have been following Atkins Diet for 3 months now and could no longer be without pasta...to put the Dreamfields pasta to the test, I cooked 2 small pots of the rotini...one Dreamfields & 1 the normal supermarket kind. Let me tell you, once cooked there was absolutely NO difference in taste, smell, cooking time, texture, etc. So I gave my family the usual type and I enjoyed my NEW favorite type! I was in pasta heaven!!! The whole meal experience was great! The item is a little pricey for pasta but since I'm losing the weight; I considered that a little gift from me to me :) Try it...I am positive you won't be disappointed...and yes, I am back for the elbows now! ENJOY THIS!!

Dreamfields Carb Facts:
Total Carbs: 41 - 42 g
Protected Carbs**: -37 g Digestible Carbs: 5 g
** Carbohydrates that are "protected" from digestion in small intestine.
Spaghetti means long, thin strands. It is the most popular type of all pastas and
is suited for a wide variety of dishes. Spaghetti can be served with red sauce,
like Spaghetti Marinara or with white sauce like Spaghetti Carbonara.
Linguine means "little tongues" which describes its flat, thin shape. A popular
linguine dish is with clams, but may also be served with pesto sauce, sugo
(tomato sauce) or with chicken.
Elbows are a very versatile cut suitable for soups, salads, or casseroles. Its short,
bent shape provides durability to hold up in the American classic macaroni and cheese.
Add it to make a hearty vegetable and beef soup or bake it in a tuna-noodle casserole.
Penne Rigate is a short-cut tubular pasta. Penne describes the slanted "quill" shape on
both ends and Rigate means with ridges. The ridges capture flavor making this cut applicable
to a wide range of sauces from vegetable sauces to meat sauces. Kids may prefer to eat it
with just butter and Parmesan cheese.
Lasagna are pasta sheets used to layer in baked dishes. Dreamfields Lasagna has
ridges, creating even more crevices to hold sauces and ingredients for even bolder
flavor. Traditional meat and tomato sauce layered with ricotta and Parmesan
cheeses is the most popular lasagna recipe. Vegetarian varieties and Florentine -
made with spinach and white sauce - are delicious options too.
Rotini, a spiral shaped pasta, is the most popular cut for pasta salads,
especially those made with an oil and vinegar dressing. Kids love these
cork-screw shapes too because they are easy for little fingers to grab and eat!
Angel Hair are heavenly long, thin strands of pasta that cook up in just 5 minutes.
Angel hair pairs best with delicate sauces, and is delightful with seafood as well.
How it works:
Dreamfields patent-pending process adds a unique blend of protein and inulin fiber (a 100% natural prebiotic fiber found in common foods such as Jerusalem artichokes (sunchokes), asparagus, garlic, raisins and chicory root) to premium durum wheat semolina, resulting in a pasta with 5 grams fiber per serving (about twice that of regular pasta), a 65% lower glycemic index (GI) than regular pasta (Dreamfields GI = 13; regular pasta GI = 38), and 5 grams digestible carbohydrates per serving, which results in a lower blood glucose rise compared to that following consumption of regular pasta.
Of the 41 grams carbohydrate in each serving of Dreamfields pasta (2 oz. dry or about 5 oz. cooked), all but 5 grams carbohydrates are protected from being absorbed due to the unique patent-pending process used to make the pasta. The unique blend of protein and inulin are balanced to provide functional properties to modify the product’s microstructure and influence starch granule permeability. A matrix is created within the semolina flour, thereby preventing starch-digesting enzymes from cleaving digestible carbohydrates into absorbable monosaccharides. The carbohydrate protected from digestion can pass to the colon where it is fermented, providing many of the benefits of fiber. Aside from reducing starch digestibility, the changes to the pasta’s microstructure and starch granule permeability reduce the GI.
Each batch of pasta undergoes rigid clinical testing to ensure that there truly are only 5 grams of digestible carbohydrate per serving and to ensure the accuracy of the stated GI level. The testing method includes measuring blood glucose response to the whole food in humans to establish the pasta’s glycemic load. This clinical testing is conducted at AMK Clinical Research Facility in Gainesville, Fla., an independent laboratory.
