Looks ok. They do not give you a breakdown of nutritional profile, but I am sure it would be about 99% carbs. The addition of the rice bran would probably increase the fibre too (which would decrease the glycaemic index/load as well).
We get something similar over here only it is whole rye-grain pasta.
If you are happy eating pasta and if it fits into your daily requirements (and as long as it is not your only source of carbohydrates) then it is fine.

Brown Rice Pasta
Whats the word on brown rice pasta?
I got some brown rice pasta elbows from this company http://www.tinkyada.com/ProList.htm at the grocery store today. Looked good enough, haven't tried it yet though.Homer: Hey! I saved your life! That egg sandwich could have killed you by cholesterol.
Lenny: Pfft, forget it, Homer. While it has been established that eggs contain cholesterol, it has not yet been proven conclusively that they actually raise the level of serum cholesterol in the human
blood stream.

Yeah, the nutrition breaks down like this:
serving 2 oz./ 56 g dry
per container: 8
Calories: 210 from fat: 15
Fat: 2
sat fat: .5
trans: 0
Cholestrol: 0 mg
Sodium: 15 mg
potassium: 100 mg
carbohydrate: 43 g
fiber: 2 g
sugars: 0 g
protein: 4 g
the ingredients on mine says: stone-ground brown rice, rice bran and water.
since this is essentially just brown rice in pasta form would it be just as acceptable as eating regular brown rice or would the processing of the ground rice change things?Homer: Hey! I saved your life! That egg sandwich could have killed you by cholesterol.

Nutrition profile (in terms of cals/carbs etc) looks very similar to brown rice.
The processing will alter things like vitamins/minerals found in the whole grain...But you'll probably find the GI is ok (wholewheat pasta has a low GI - so I would imagine this also would). Originally Posted by derekisdman
