Frequently asked questions

Чи Protelle — це протеїнові макарони?

Так. Protelle — це протеїнові макарони, їх також називають високобілковою пастою. На 100 г сухого продукту припадає 33 г білка — проти приблизно 13 г у звичайних макаронах із твердих сортів пшениці. Білок соняшниковий, тож продукт повністю рослинний і підходить веганам. Готуються звичайним способом, 8–10 хвилин.

Why is the pasta dark in colour?

The product contains a large amount of a compound called chlorogenic acid (more than 300 mg per 100 g). After the pasta is formed, it goes through a short steam treatment at 120 °C for hygiene reasons. At that temperature the compound turns dark brown — much as coffee beans darken when they are roasted.

Can children eat Protelle pasta?

Yes. Protelle pasta is 100% plant-based and provides 33 g of protein and 12 g of fibre per 100 g. It cooks the same way as ordinary pasta — 8–10 minutes. If your child has a food allergy or particular dietary needs, check with your paediatrician.

Why sunflower protein?

Sunflower protein is a natural plant protein with a mild taste, unlike most plant proteins, so the pasta keeps a familiar flavour. It is GMO-free. Sunflower is an undemanding crop that grows well in Ukrainian soil without excessive irrigation, so the protein is produced locally, in Ukraine.

What is chlorogenic acid?

Chlorogenic acid is a natural compound from the polyphenol group. It occurs in sunflower seeds, coffee beans, vegetables and fruit. It is naturally present in Protelle pasta because the product is made with sunflower protein, and it is what gives the pasta its characteristic dark brown colour.
