Big Green Organic Food- Organic Millet Penne, Gluten-Free, Lectin-Free, Non-GMO, Vegan, Wheat and Rice Alternative, 8.8oz (1)

Easy to cook and delicious to eat. When cooked as directed, the texture is perfect. Tastes great and even people who can eat any kind of pasta enjoy this.

This was easy on my digestive system as some other gluten free were not. I like the taste. It does taste just like regular pasta. Just know it does not take long to cook at all. It will get very soft in short amount of time. Highly recommend.

Reallt great gluten-free pasta can be difficult to find and it can be expensive. I am so thankful that I found this pasta from Amazon. It is delicious, al dente and safe to eat.

I Absolutely LOVE the taste of this pasta. It is the closest you can get to wheat pasta in taste, texture, etc. HOWEVER, the product is always now on backorder and takes forever to receive. This is a shame. I have actually found another brand that makes the same thing and I get it in like 3 days. This company better step up its game if it wants to stay in business.

On the directions it says to boil for seven minutes, and it usually comes out great! Hint: Millet has more protein than rice.

This is my new favorite. Honestly, I've tried just about all of the wheat-free pastas out there -- chickpea, bean, pea, etc., and they all taste yuck. Although, brown rice pasta is just ok and buckwheat is good for Asian inspired dishes but NOT Italian pasta dishes. This millet pasta is tasty and good with tomato style sauces! Millet has a slightly sweet taste and is very nutritious and easy to digest. As some other reviews have suggested, do not cook the 10 minutes as directed on the box or it will get a bit mushy. Test taste at about 6 minutes and continue cooking a minute or two if needed. If you are concerned about food from China...Most millet is grown in India followed by Africa and China. The US does not grow much. So, this company does source millet from China where they have their own facility...

I follow LFG (Kristine Wylie) on IG and I've seen her post about this pasta, so I wanted to try it, because it's hard to find (GOOD) lectin free pasta. I thought it was cool that her recipe is on the box! I looked at her recipe and it said to cook the pasta for 7 min. While the boiling instructions on the box say 10 min. The day I received it, I tested the pasta at 8 min and it was mushy. I made pasta salad tonight and I tested it at 5 min, still a little chewy, so I gave it 1 more minute and it was perfect! So if you make this, start testing the doneness at 5 min and remove from heat at your liking. I also rinsed it and put ice on it to cool it down for pasta salad, drained and then drizzled olive oil and tossed until I was ready to use. In my opinion, the manufacturer should reduce the cooking time on the packaging, unless you like mushy pasta.

If you follow he directions closely you will find this pasta a perfect substitute for wheat based pasta. You really will not be sbke to tell the difference. But be careful as it can over cook easily, taste test and follow the 7 minute cooking time closely
