Harvesting

Organic macaroni is typically made from durum wheat, which is grown in the fertile fields of Italy and other Mediterranean countries. The durum wheat used in organic macaroni is carefully cultivated and harvested during the late summer months, when the grains have reached their peak ripeness and nutritional value. The wheat is then milled into semolina, the coarse flour that gives macaroni its distinctive texture and golden colour. The macaroni is traditionally processed using bronze dies, which give the pasta its rough texture, allowing it to hold onto sauces better. This artisanal method of production ensures that the macaroni retains its natural, wholesome qualities.

As a natural raw product, organic macaroni is rich in complex carbohydrates and protein, providing sustained energy and essential nutrients. In addition to its natural composition, some organic macaroni products may be enriched with added nutrients such as iron and B vitamins, further enhancing their nutritional value. The vibrant golden colour of organic macaroni is a testament to its high carotenoid content, which contributes to its visual appeal and nutritional benefits.

The organic nature of Organic Macaroni means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Macaroni in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

Ways to Use Organic Macaroni

Here are some of our favourite ways to use Organic Macaroni. From traditional favourites to contemporary twists, these ideas showcase the incredible versatility of the Forrist Organic Macaroni. Share your creations and join the Forrist community on Instagram #forrist!

Classic Macaroni and Cheese

Cook the organic macaroni and whilst it's cooking, in a separate pan, melt butter and stir in flour to make a roux. Gradually add milk and stir until thickened. Add grated cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Mix the cheese sauce with the cooked macaroni and transfer to a baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs and bake until golden and bubbly.

Mediterranean Macaroni Salad

Cook the organic macaroni and let it cool. In a large bowl, combine the macaroni with diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and black olives. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the macaroni mixture and toss to combine. Chill for at least an hour before serving.

Macaroni and Cheese Stuffed Peppers

Cut the tops off bell peppers and remove the seeds. Cook the organic macaroni and mix it with a creamy cheese sauce. Stuff the peppers with the macaroni and cheese mixture. Top with breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Bake until the peppers are tender and the filling is golden and bubbly. Serve on its own or with a salad.

The History of Organic Macaroni

Organic macaroni has a rich history dating back to the 13th century in Italy, where it was first documented as a staple food. Its name is derived from the Italian word "maccheroni," and it quickly gained popularity throughout Europe. In the 19th century, macaroni became a symbol of Italian cuisine and was introduced to the United Kingdom, where it became a beloved comfort food. Over time, the demand for organic and healthier food options led to the development of organic macaroni, made from high-quality, sustainably sourced ingredients. Today, organic macaroni continues to honour its heritage while meeting the needs of modern foodies seeking wholesome and environmentally conscious products.
