# Yellow Legume Pastas ZENB's Single-Ingredient Pasta is Made from Yellow Peas By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2020-11-19 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/single-ingredient-pasta References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/plant-powered-brand-zenb-launches-100-yellow-pea-pasta-with-the-taste-and-texture-of-traditional-pasta-301176623.html) & [ZENB](http://ZENB.com) Plant-based food brand ZENB created single-ingredient pasta made from 100% yellow peas, offering a nutritious way for pasta lovers to enjoy a product that tastes just like regular pasta. ZENB Pasta boasts 17 grams of protein, 11 grams of fiber and 30% fewer net carbs than traditional pasta in each three-ounce serving. Additionally, the legume-based pasta alternative is naturally gluten-free and it makes the most of the whole legume, skin included. As ZENB sees it, the nutritious and versatile legume may become the next "it" ingredient, especially as it makes pasta something that can be enjoyed guilt-free more than once a week. This new pasta product is helping to meet consumers' desire to eat more fruits and vegetables, especially at a time when they are investing more time into making their own healthy meals at home.
