Jovial Einkorn Organic Whole Wheat Penne Rigate 12 oz, 6-Pack — Non‑GMO, Tender & Nutty

Jovial Einkorn 100% Organic Whole Wheat Penne Rigate is a naturally flavorful, USDA Organic and Non‑GMO pasta made from ancient einkorn wheat for a tender texture and nutty taste.

Produced in Italy from einkorn—the original wheat—this penne rigate offers a distinct yellow hue, a silky bite, and a mild nutty flavor. It’s crafted without hybridization, chemical bleaching, bromates, or enrichment, and is Non‑GMO Project Verified. The pasta preserves the grain’s natural nutrients like lutein and tocotrienols while supporting biodiversity through long crop rotations on small farms.

What makes einkorn different from modern wheat?

Einkorn is an heirloom variety that has not been crossbred with other wheats. Its gluten structure is weaker and less elastic than modern wheat gluten, which changes how it behaves in cooking and baking without making it gluten‑free.

• Single‑grain lineage—never hybridized, retaining original wheat genetics.
• Higher levels of lutein and certain vitamin E compounds than many modern wheats.
• Softer gluten structure that often feels easier to digest for some individuals.
• Not suitable for people with celiac disease; contains wheat gluten.

How does Jovial Einkorn penne cook and taste?

This penne cooks to a tender, yet pleasantly firm bite and carries a delicate nutty flavor with a buttery yellow color. Its texture accepts sauces well, while the ridged rigate shape helps trap chunky or oil‑based sauces for balanced flavor in every forkful.

• Al dente reliably when cooked according to package directions.
• Ridged surface holds sauces like pesto, tomato ragù, and olive oil blends.
• Nutty, mildly sweet flavor enhances both simple and complex recipes.
• Silky mouthfeel due to whole‑grain einkorn milling and careful processing.

Is this pasta nutritious and allergen friendly?

Jovial Einkorn penne retains whole‑grain nutrients, including B vitamins, trace minerals, lutein, and tocotrienols (a form of vitamin E). The product is free of common allergens like milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, fish, and soy, but it does contain wheat and gluten.

• USDA Organic and Non‑GMO Project Verified ingredients.
• No bleach, bromates, or enrichment—keeps the grain intact.
• Free from several top allergens; check labeling for cross‑contact warnings.
