Heartland Gluten Free Pasta


Nor-TX

Recommended Posts

I found a new gluten free pasta at Walmart over the weekend and have tried it twice. It is absolutely delicious. It is called Heartland Gluten Free. It is a corn and rice blend and tastes exactly like regular pasta. My DH tasted it and even proclaimed he could not tell the difference. He is not on a gluten free diet.

The 12 oz package is 2.00. At our local Walmart in Murphy Texas they had 2 different pasta styles. Spaghetti and Fusilli. I bought the Fusilli. For the first meal I made spaghetti sauce with gluten-free Prego traditional sauce, and some spices. My DH used Skinner spaghetti and I used half the bag of Heatland. It was perfect. The pasta did take a little longer to cook than is indicated on the package. I'm a child of the 50s and grew up with soft pasta. The sauce nestled in all the little grooves and tasted great.

The next time I used it, I sauteed some sliced mushrooms in dairy free margarine and tossed them into the pasta with some steamed shrimp and a splash of gluten-free sweet chili sauce. Yummy!

This is the best pasta I have tasted. I was buying the Ancient Harvest quinoa pasta and this is so much better. The color, the taste, the "bite", the after flavor - everything is great.

I did try to locate this pasta at Sprouts, Albertsons, Tom Thumb, Target but it is only being sold at Walmart for now. At 2.00 a package it is the best deal around.

That's my favorite gluten-free pasta too. The only thing I don't like about it is how fast it gets cold.

Our Walmart keeps it in the regular pasta section

I've also bought it and like it. My Wal-Mart has 3 different kinds available...in addition to spaghetti and fusilli, they also have penne.

Does anyone have a problem with this particular spaghetti sticking together while it's cooking? I used to cook regular spaghetti with no problems but I seem to spend a lot of time separating Heartland spaghetti while I'm cooking it.

Thanks for the reviews. I haven't tried this kind yet but I have seen it for 1.98 at Walmart. My Walmart doesn't have a gluten-free section, everything is just mixed in with the regular stuff.

      Yes, the yeast could have been cultured on a wheat substrate. But another batch may use a yeast extract cultured on something else that did not contain gluten. These food companies will switch suppliers according to what is the cheapest source at any given time. I take it you are a pretty sensitive celiac.

      The regular cheddar and sour cream Ruffles have yeast extract, which is probably the source of gluten.  Pinpointing the exact cause of gluten exposure is always tricky, but I've come to learn my initial reaction to gluten compared to the ongoing symptoms that will occur days, weeks, and sometimes months later.

      Yes, that's probably best. (Honestly, that is an extraordinarily high number, I've never seen anything like that. I repeated my blood tests (not taken while pregnant BTW); before giving up cake, pizza, and beer, I wanted to know for sure! You don't wanna mess around with anything while pregnant. Congratulations and best of luck!

      Here are the ingredients listed for the regular sour cream and cheddar Ruffles: Potatoes, Vegetable Oil (Canola, Corn, Soybean, and/or Sunflower Oil), Maltodextrin (Made from Corn), Salt, Whey, Cheddar Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Onion Powder, Monosodium Glutamate, Natural and Artificial Flavors, Buttermilk, Sour Cream (Cultured Cream, Skim Milk), Lactose, Butter (Cream, Salt), Sodium Caseinate, Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Skim Milk, Blue Cheese (Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes), Lactic Acid, Garlic Powder, Artificial Color (Yellow 6, Yellow 5), Whey Protein Isolate, and Milk Protein Concentrate. CONTAINS MILK INGREDIENTS. Here are the ingredients listed for the baked ones: INGREDIENTS: DRIED POTATOES, CORN STARCH, CORN OIL, SUGAR, MALTODEXTRIN (MADE FROM CORN), SALT, SOY LECITHIN, DEXTROSE, WHEY, WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, ONION POWDER, CHEDDAR CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE, BLUE CHEESE (MILK, CHEESE CULTURES, SALT, ENZYMES), CITRIC ACID, ARTIFICIAL COLOR (YELLOW 6 LAKE, YELLOW 5 LAKE, YELLOW 5, YELLOW 6), SKIM MILK, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS, GARLIC POWDER, LACTIC ACID, DISODIUM INOSINATE, AND DISODIUM GUANYLATE. CONTAINS MILK AND SOY INGREDIENTS   They look a lot the same except for the baked product contains soy. What do you suppose is the hidden source of gluten in the regular Ruffles that is not found in the baked ones? Could you be mistaken in attributing your reaction to the Ruffles? Could it have been from gluten in something else you ate around the same time or even a non-gluten tummy event?

      @plumbago on my blood tests I got 4500 and normal should be between 25-30 but they wanted me to continue eating gluten until a endoscopy was done and also biopsies taken. I’ve took it upon myself to cut gluten out today based on the research I’ve done about it during pregnancy
