Dreamfields makes any pasta dish better thanks to its delectable taste and added nutritional benefits. Made from the finest North American durum wheat semolina, it has the same taste and texture as traditional pasta. However, Dreamfields has the added bonus of having seven grams of protein and five grams of fiber per one cup cooked serving. That's twice as much fiber as traditional pasta and 20 percent of the daily recommendations.
