I finally found some Tinkyada pasta and could not decide whether to buy the Organic or the type with rice bran. For those of you who are loyal Tinkyada customers, which type is the best?

I've never noticed a difference. I use whichever based on how much I need since the bags are different sizes. Not the best method ...

Come to think about it, I've never noticed a difference, either :D I tend to buy based on the shape. I love the spaghetti for a regular pasta dinner, and the fissuli (I think that's close to how it's spelled :ph34r: ) is good as a side dish with butter or olive oil and grated cheese.

I buy the different shapes, too, but sometimes you can get them in either organic or the other. The non-organic bags are bigger.

Most of the shapes were available in both organic and rice bran (both are brown rice). I wasn't sure what the diff was. I bought organic since I wasn't sure what rice bran would be.

Thanks for your input.

I never noticed that there was an organic Tinkyada. I also buy based on the size of the bag and the shape of the pasta. I have found that the spaghetti tastes the most like regular pasta as it keeps its firmness better especially when re heated.

I lovve the rice bran pastas. They are not gummy and taste great. The reason I buy it though is the amount of fiber. Rice bran is an excellent source of fiber.

Haha...I never noticed there was a difference, either! :lol: I also buy based on the shape of the pasta. Glad I'm not the only one!

I didn't notice either. I buy what looks good at that moment in the store. But my favourite are the tri-coloured fusilli.

I've been buying the rice bran rather than organic because it's 80 cents cheaper for about the same size and Ty hasn't said anything about noticing a taste difference.

I did tell a lady at the health food store once that I didn't care if it was organic, just that it was gluten free :lol: . I think she was horrified :o .

I've eaten both...and I dont notice a difference in taste or texture or anything else. All the Tinkyada pastas taste the same to me. Yummy. :)

OK, I had to go look. My Penne are oeganic, my elbows are with rice bran and the tri-color twists don't say either, they're just brown rice pasta. (my store had a sale on Tinkyada a couple of weeks ago, and at the price they get, I bought several on sale!)

I'm a shape buyer!

I recently found that Tinkyada makes a WHITE rice pasta and it is easier for me to digest. (I've always had issues with rice.) So for my family I can cook the brown rice types but for me, I've been having the white rice spaghetti and it works better. Just thought I'd chime in even though it doesn't seem like you have any problems with rice. (yay!)

I'm another one that never noticed any of them were organic. I'm about to go check mine and see what I have. I buy mostly on shape. I like to mix the penne with the tri-color fusili a lot, but like others said I just get the different shapes based on what I'm having. I buy the elbows to make mac n' cheese, penne and tri-color fusili for everyday pasta and lasgana noodles or large shells for obviously either lasagna or stuffed shells. Ocassionally I'll get the fettucini or spaghetti if I'm in the mood for that. They all taste the same to me.

Count me in as a shape-buyer! ;) We have had the spirals in a chicken noodle dinner and shells in mac & cheese, but we're new at this so we haven't tried a lot.

I don't think I was clear in my original post. Most shapes are available in both organic and rice bran. The only reason I noticed the difference is because the way the store had them displayed. I just want to be sure to buy the type that has the best taste and texture (regardless of shape). From reading this thread it doesn't sound like there is much difference - if any - in the taste.

Thanks for all of your input!

I used the spirals (Organic) tonight to make mac n cheese. VERY YUMMY! The best pasta I have had in a year.

I figured out that the lavender colored bags are the organic and the rice bran bags are pink.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
