Harvesting

Organic whole wheat fusilli is grown and harvested using traditional farming methods that prioritise sustainability and environmental responsibility. The harvesting of whole wheat typically takes place in the late summer or early autumn months when the wheat plants have fully matured. The harvested wheat is then processed to create the fusilli pasta shape, which involves grinding the whole wheat into flour and then shaping it into a distinctive spiral form. The composition of this product consists of 100% whole wheat, which means it contains the entire wheat kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm. This results in a higher nutritional content.

As a natural raw product, whole wheat fusilli contains essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals such as fibre, B vitamins, iron, and magnesium. These nutrients are inherent to the whole wheat grain, making it a nutritious choice.

The organic nature of Organic Wholewheat Fusilli 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 Wholewheat Fusilli 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 Wholewheat Fusilli

Pesto and Cherry Tomatoes

Cook the organic fusilli. In a separate pan, sauté cherry tomatoes with olive oil and garlic until they soften. Toss the cooked fusilli with pesto sauce. Mix in the sautéed cherry tomatoes and top with a sprinkle of vegan parmesan cheese. This classic Italian dish is simple, delicious, and perfect for a quick weeknight meal.

Lemon-Herb Vinaigrette Salad

Boil the organic fusilli until al dente, then rinse with cold water and drain. In a large bowl, combine the cooked fusilli with diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and homemade tofu feta cheese. In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, fresh herbs (such as basil and parsley), salt, and pepper to create a zesty vinaigrette. Pour the vinaigrette over the fusilli salad and toss to coat. This refreshing and vibrant salad is ideal for picnics or as a light lunch.

Stir-Fry with Asian-Inspired Sauce

Prepare the organic fusilli and set aside. In a wok or large skillet, stir-fry a mix of colourful vegetables such as bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots in sesame oil until tender-crisp. Add the cooked fusilli to the wok and pour in a homemade sauce made from tamari soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a touch of agave syrup. Toss everything together until the sauce coats the fusilli and vegetables. This fusion dish offers a delightful twist on traditional stir-fry and is equally delicious.
