Pasta
Pasta originated in Italy and is traditionally made from durum wheat and water. It tends to be a food cupboard staple and base for a large variety of dishes.
Pasta can be quite high in calories and carbohydrates and so many people look for organic and wheat alternatives.

Gluten-Free Pasta
There are many reasons for following a gluten-free diet. These might be medical, for example people with coeliac disease, or you may have a gluten intolerance or allergy.
Intolerances can cause lots of different symptoms including headaches and fatigue, nausea and sickness, diarrhoea and rashes in some cases. Many people also switch to a gluten-free diet as a lifestyle choice.
Traditional wheat-based pasta is not gluten free and so anyone with a gluten intolerance or on a gluten free diet would need to avoid it.
