New Spaghetti A Source Of Fiber

A new pasta made with barley may soon be labeled a «good source of dietary fiber» and «may reduce the heart disease risk,» researchers in Italy and Spain say.

Vito Verardo of the University of Bologna in Italy, Ana Maria Gomez-Caravaca of the University of Granada in Spain and colleagues explain that barley, a grain that is an excellent source of fiber and antioxidants, is gaining interest as an ingredient in so-called «functional foods» — a genre of foods that are supplemented with healthful additives.
