Pasta
Moderate nutritional value
Wheat pasta such as spaghetti, values for cooked unenriched pasta without salt.
Dried pasta is made from wheat, usually durum semolina, and water, and is boiled before eating. A 180 g cooked portion gives about 285 kcal, mostly from starch, and 10 g of protein, plus a large share of the daily value of selenium, an amount that varies with the soil the wheat grew in. Most US pasta is enriched with iron and B vitamins; these values are for unenriched pasta. About 75 g of dry pasta cooks to 180 g.
