Tolerant Organic Green Lentil Elbows Pasta (8 oz, Pack of 6)

These are great for kids. Impossible to get them on stock

I just cooked the first box of these green lentil pasta. I am thrilled! I try to be mostly gluten free and low carb. These are not low in carbs but have a low glycemic index of 21 - up to 55 is considered low. Lentils are a healthy food. I heard they were not very soft when cooked, so I cooked them seven minutes (box said 4-6). They were absolutely perfect. They were soft but not at all coming apart like some alternate pastas. They did not crumble at all! They tasted good - pretty much like wheat pasta. My kids loved them. They held up on reheating as well - not one mushy elbow! So happy to find these - they are worth the extra $$ and they are organic as well!

This is my new go-to pasta since too much wheat bothers my stomach. The consistency is a little different, more firm, but I actually like this better. The flavor is good and it pairs well with your favorite sauce. This pasta is also filling. I find that one box will make 2-3 lunches, depending on portion size.

These are delicious… just too expensive

Of course they're Italian and remain al dente without going mushy, which is seriously a no no!

We're so happy to find these lentil elbow macaroni here because Whole Foods now only carries the penne and rotini lentil pasta from this brand, Tolerant. My son has Celiac and he cannot eat gluten, and he also has an allergy to rice and chickpeas. Most of the other gluten and grain free pastas have rice in them and/or chickpeas. I am have an terrible sensitivity and histamine reactions to most grains. We use these lentil macaroni also as pasta for soups. Although we prefer the tiny lentil shells, that Tolerant also used to make for chicken soup but we cannot find them anywhere, unfortunately. It is also difficult now to find corn pasta with this "war" or bad reputation against corn and GMO; but I know that lentils also have more protein in them. And some people don't do well with corn because of the fructose and intestinal or BS issues. I hope that they do not stop making these lentil macaroni.UPDATE: I am so sad that when I came to re-order it a few months later, not it is not available... And all of the other lentil macaroni from other brands have rice and my son and I cannot eat rice or we get sick and rashes/eczema everywhere... Bommer! I hope that they bring it back ASAP

This is the absolute best SCD-compliant pasta. It tastes awesome, even to my extremely selective child. I'm so sad that it is becoming hard to find. Be aware, this item says it is a 6 pack, and only one box was shipped.

These elbows are super skinny; they don't look anything like the photo where they are very big and light colored. (See my photo of what is shown on Amazon vs what I received.) When I cooked them they of course expand a bit but not that much. I really wanted a big noodle as pictured for my specific recipe. Pasta size aside they do taste great and don't turn to mush! Plus, these are packed with nutrients like iron. A new favorite.
