Description

Organic Fusilli Pasta – Regenerative

Organic • Vegan • Non-GMO

Patagonia makes nutritious, high-fiber organic fusilli pasta with just two ingredients: durum wheat flour and flour from Kernza®, a wheatlike perennial. Both are 100% whole grain, giving the pasta a high fiber content (25% Daily Value) and plenty of warm, nutty flavor. Bronze dies, used to cut and shape the dough, create a rough surface that allows sauces to cling, adding even more flavor.

This is the first ever Regenerative Organic Certified® pasta. This certification is the world’s most rigorous standard for agriculture.

Ways to Eat

This Fusilli tastes great with just plain butter and salt. It’s also delicious with pesto, in pasta salads and pasta bakes.

To cook the pasta: Boil vigorously in well-salted water until tender, 8 to 11 minutes.
Seasoned with butter, olive oil or oil preference plus chopped toasted walnuts
Mixed with Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard’s Blue Cheese Sauce
In an oven-browned pasta bake, covered with sizzling melted cheeses of your choice
Swirled with our Nude Food Made Pesto
Mixed with Seasonal local vegetables, and/or Wild Caught Boar!

Details & Sourcing by Patagonia Provisions:

These Wheat and Kernza grain are Regenerative Organic Certified®. Regenerative organic agriculture protects the health of the entire farm system: soil, farm animals and workers. Healthy soil is critical to fighting the climate crisis, because it helps draw down carbon and buffers farms against climate impacts like drought and flooding.

Regenerative Organic Certified Durum Wheat

Sourced from Upland Organics, Saskatchewan, Canada
Certified in: 2021 (silver level)
Upland Organics is a family-run mixed cattle and grain farm. Cody Straza and his wife, Allison Squires, started farming in 2013 after Cody left his job as an engineer so they could live closer to the land. The couple have farmed organically from the start, incorporating regenerative practices in 2015.
Upland’s regenerative organic practices: Minimal soil disturbance, vegetative ground cover, crop rotations, cover crop mixes, integrated livestock, compost teas and biological amendments.

Regenerative Organic Certified Kernza

Sourced from A-Frame Farms, Madison, MN
Certified in: 2022 (silver level)
Farmer Luke Peterson and his wife Ali, a nurse practitioner, believe soil health promotes human health. Luke adopts a systems approach to farming, and has been growing Kernza since 2016. He grows other perennials on his diversified farm and raises livestock, too.
Kernza is a wheatlike perennial grain that grows exceptionally deep roots. Unlike most grains, Kernza doesn’t require annual tilling and replanting, so it’s less carbon intensive to farm. What’s more, Kernza’s deep roots build soil, protect groundwater from pollution and keep topsoil from eroding.
A-Frame’s regenerative organic practices: No fall tillage on annual crops, cover crops, diverse crop rotations, integrated livestock, perennials, habitat for pollinators and wildlife.

About Patagonia Provisions: “Industrial agriculture depletes soil, poisons water and threatens the outdoor places we love. Protecting the earth, and our future on it, means we have to find a better way. So we make foods that restore the planet instead of destroying it. As our founder Yvon Chouinard says, “People buy a jacket every few years, but they eat several times a day. If we’re going to save our home planet, it starts with food.” If we keep farming conventionally, the world’s topsoil, which produces nearly all our food, could disappear within 60 years, according to the United Nations. Regenerative organic farming creates thriving populations of microbes, which break down organic matter (dead plants) into topsoil. Also, regenerative organic systems like agroforests and no-till farms planted with perennials have well-developed roots that keep topsoil from eroding.”
