Chickapea Lasagne Noodles – Dietitian Review
Taste:
Chickapea Lasagne noodles understandably have a chickpea flavour which I don’t mind but not everyone may like this. I found that this was not as noticeable when tested as part of the full lasagna recipe where there are a variety of competing flavours.
I found the cooked texture of Chickapea Lasagne noodles to be dryer than traditional pasta noodles and fall apart more easily.
Cost:
$$$ – expensive.
The current cost (in Ontario) is $6.49 per box. Each box will make 1 lasagna.
Chickapea Lasagne noodles are a higher price point compared to traditional and gluten-free noodles. They are a similar price point to some other specialty noodle products.
Would I buy this product again?
Overall, I love the nutrition profile and simple ingredients used in this product. I will purchase this product again to use as an added protein source in vegetarian lasagne recipes.
