GOODWHEAT PASTA PRODUCTS SEE IMMEDIATE SUCCESS
Three Farm DaughtersTM brand pastas
have arrived for anyone wanting healthier pasta . These new products hit the market in November 2020 and are already selling successfully nationwide . That success is due to the Three Farm Daughters themselves , Annie Gorder , Mollie Ficocello and Grace Lunski , as well as their pasta ’ s key ingredient , GoodWheat TM , a nutrient-rich , high-fiber wheat created by Davis-based Arcadia Biosciences .
From their farm in North Dakota , the sisters founded Three Farm Daughters in 2019 , committed to growing and marketing what they call “ better-for-you ” food products . To fulfill their mission of producing and delivering naturally nutrient-dense , healthful food products with outstanding quality and taste , they utilize GoodWheat as the key ingredient in all their products — Linguine , Fusilli , Fettuccine and 100 % Wheat Flour created by Davis-based Arcadia Biosciences .
“ When we established our business , we recognized GoodWheat as something we wanted to feed our families and nourish our kids , and hoped to share that passion and nutrition with other people ,” says Grace . “ Compared to traditional pasta , our products , per 2-ounce serving , have 25 percent fewer calories , 11 grams of fiber as opposed to 2 grams , and 9 grams of protein as opposed to 7 grams , thanks to GoodWheat . Our pasta actually has double the fiber needed to be designated by the FDA as a high-fiber product .”
The family farm grows an array of crops , including GoodWheat . “ When people look for a healthier pasta , they often turn to something that ’ s not wheat based ,” says Mollie , “ so GoodWheat has enabled us to provide a healthier wheat-based pasta that tastes like traditional wheat-based pasta , which is part of our vision statement : to elevate the everyday staples by bringing in more nutrition while providing the same great taste and textures consumers know and love .”
Three Farm Daughters pastas are currently available through its e-commerce platform , threefarmdaughters . com , and Amazon , as well as a growing number of brick-and-mortar grocers .
“ Nobody knows GoodWheat ’ s value better than our Three Farm Daughter partners . As farmers , they understand the premium wheat benefits , as moms , they savor its nutrient density , and as career women , they appreciate how GoodWheat powers their inner chef .”
