Gallo Proteína
Also known as: Gallo Proteína, Gallo Proteina, Pastas Gallo Proteína, Gallo +Proteína, Gallo protein pasta
Gallo high-protein dry pasta from Spain: durum wheat semolina with wheat and pea protein, 17 g protein per 100 g; plumas and hélices.
Gallo Proteína is the high-protein range of Pastas Gallo. According to the official site it is made from durum wheat semolina with added wheat protein and pea protein, and contains 17 g of protein per 100 g, about 40% more than Gallo's classic pasta. It also has 4.2 g of fibre per 100 g, contains no cholesterol and is made without colourings or preservatives. The maker says one serving covers about 20–25% of an average adult's daily protein needs.
The range has two shapes: Plumas +Proteína (penne) and Hélices +Proteína (spirals similar to fusilli). They are cooked in boiling water for the time on the pack, and the maker says they keep the taste and bite of ordinary pasta.
Gallo presents the range for people who want more plant protein, for example after sport, and suggests sauces such as pesto, pesto rosso, carbonara or Grana Padano cheese sauce. Because it contains wheat, it is not gluten-free. The range belongs to dry pasta from durum wheat.
