Harvesting

Organic whole wheat penne is grown and harvested using organic farming methods, ensuring the highest quality and minimal environmental impact. The whole wheat used in the production of penne is composed of the entire wheat kernel, including the bran, germ, and endosperm, making it a rich source of fibre, protein, and essential nutrients. The wheat used for whole wheat penne is usually harvested in the late summer or early autumn when the grains are fully matured.

After harvesting, the wheat is carefully processed to preserve its nutritional value, using traditional stone milling techniques to maintain the integrity of the whole grain. The natural raw product of organic whole wheat penne boasts a warm, golden-brown colour, reflecting its unrefined nature. As a result of minimal processing, whole wheat penne retains its natural nutrients, including B vitamins, iron, and magnesium, which are essential for a balanced diet.

The organic nature of Organic Whole Wheat Penne 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 Whole Wheat Penne 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.
