Harvesting

Organic vermicelli, a type of pasta made from durum wheat semolina, is typically grown and harvested in a meticulous process that ensures its high quality and nutritional value. The durum wheat used in vermicelli production is sown in the autumn and harvested in the summer, ensuring optimal ripeness and flavour. The wheat is then milled into semolina, which forms the base of the vermicelli. The vermicelli is processed using traditional methods, including extrusion through bronze dies, which gives it a rough texture that allows sauces to cling to it better. This process also helps to preserve the natural golden colour of the pasta, giving it an appetising appearance.

As an organic product, vermicelli is free from synthetic additives and pesticides. It retains its natural nutrients, including essential vitamins and minerals such as B vitamins, iron, and magnesium. This makes it a wholesome and nutritious choice. seeking a healthy and natural option for their meals. Overall, the careful cultivation, harvesting, and processing of our organic vermicelli, contribute to its appeal as a wholesome and sustainable food choice for environmentally friendly options.

The organic nature of Organic Vermicelli 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.

The History of Organic Vermicelli

Organic vermicelli has a rich history dating back to ancient times, originating in Italy and later spreading to other parts of the world. The word "vermicelli" itself is derived from the Italian word for "little worms," reflecting the pasta's slender, worm-like shape. Traditionally made from durum wheat, organic vermicelli has evolved to include healthier options such as whole wheat and gluten-free varieties. Its heritage is deeply rooted in Mediterranean and Asian cuisines, where it is a staple in dishes like pasta salads, soups, and stir-fries. Today, organic vermicelli continues to be celebrated for its versatility, nutritional benefits, and cultural significance.
