Pasta, wholewheat, spaghetti, dried, raw

Wholewheat spaghetti is a pasta made from wholegrain wheat. The figures here describe dried, raw spaghetti before cooking. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with fibre and protein also contributing to its nutritional content. Per 100g, it contains 68g of carbohydrate, 12g of fibre and 13g of protein, and provides 1400 kJ of energy.

Carbohydrate supplies energy, while protein supports the growth and repair of body tissues. Fibre helps maintain normal bowel function. Pasta absorbs water during cooking, so the nutrient content by weight is lower in cooked pasta than in the dried product. Added salt, sauces and other ingredients can change the nutritional content of the meal. Full figures for the dried, raw spaghetti are in the tables below.
