Robust, Nutritious, and Perfectly Formed.

Suma Organic Italian Wholewheat Penne is the ultimate choice for those who demand the hearty texture and nutritional benefits of whole grains without sacrificing the authentic, robust "al dente" bite of traditional Italian pasta. By using the entire grain, this penne offers a deeper, nuttier flavor profile that stands up perfectly to bold, chunky sauces.

As a product of a worker-owned cooperative, it carries the dual promise of superior Italian craftsmanship and high ethical standards.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Whole Grain Goodness: Packed with the fiber-rich bran and nutrient-dense germ, this pasta supports digestion and provides sustained energy, making it a much more nourishing option than refined white pasta.

  • The Sauce-Capturing Tube: The classic penne shape is brilliant for scooping up sauces. The hollow center and slanted ends allow flavors to get inside the pasta, ensuring every bite is flavor-packed.

  • Robust Texture: Thanks to traditional bronze-die extrusion, these tubes have a slightly coarse, porous surface that provides excellent "sauce-cling." They maintain a firm, satisfying chew that doesn't turn mushy.

  • 100% Certified Organic: Grown and produced without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs.

  • Ethical Sourcing: Every purchase supports Suma’s commitment to fair labor and sustainable food systems.

Tips for Success

  • Check the Time: Wholewheat pasta is denser than white pasta. Start taste-testing for your preferred al dente firmness about 1–2 minutes before the suggested cooking time to ensure you hit that perfect "snap."

  • Don't Toss the Water: Before draining, always reserve a mug of the starchy cooking water. Adding a splash of this water to your sauce pan helps bind the sauce to the penne, creating a velvety, cohesive finish.

  • Bold Pairings: The earthy, nutty flavor of wholewheat penne is best matched with "big" flavors. It shines in dishes featuring roasted root vegetables, rich lentil ragus, spicy tomato sauces, or hearty cream-based sauces with mushrooms.

  • Toss, Don't Top: For the most professional results, drain the pasta and immediately toss it into your sauce pan for the final minute of cooking. This allows the sauce to fill the tubes and coat the exterior.
