Carbe Diem FAQs

About Our Pasta

How is Carbe Diem different from traditional pasta?

Carbe Diem is a 100% wheat-based pasta, which is why our taste and texture are so spot on.

Here’s the difference: When our wheat is milled, we separate it into its individual parts. This allows us to add back more protein in the form of vital wheat gluten and more fiber with modified wheat starch, reducing both the net carbs and calories.

Does your pasta contain dairy?

Does Carbe Diem pasta cook to a nice al dente?

Yes! It cooks and eats just like regular pasta. We made it so it doesn’t break apart in the pot like many other alternative pastas.

Low Net Carb Information

What are "net carbs?"

Net carbs are the total amount of carbohydrates in a food or beverage minus the fiber and sugar alcohols. In other words, net carbs constitute the number of carbohydrates your body will absorb. This information is helpful in understanding the number of carbohydrates and calories your body will metabolize.
