Starting with a muesli breakfast of nut butter, dried fruit and milk in 1974, Rapunzel is now Europe's leading producer of organic food. Rapunzel's quest for high-quality, natural food products has been in place long before the EU organic standards were established, and all products have maintained a high level of traceability and transparency, all raw materials have been tested by renowned external laboratories, implemented a HACCP management system and passed the International Food Standard (IFS) certification and the EU organic certification.
Standard pasta is made from high-protein, high-gluten durum wheat flour, and it is made without adding additional salt to maintain the chewy texture, which has natural health properties. Rapunzel's full range of products does not add any substances other than flour and water, except for adult pasta such as straight pasta and two-pointed pasta, which preserves a trace amount of sodium salt in the raw material itself, the sodium content of the rest of the products is 0 mg. The pasta also comes in a variety of shapes and types, making it an excellent choice for exercising your baby's chewing ability during the teething period. Although there is no word for children on the packaging, Rapunzel still stands out from the crowd of pasta and squeezes into the baby noodle market.
Rapunzel believes in gentle processing, and its pasta is slowly dried at temperatures of up to 65°C to maximize the preservation of important nutrients. Depending on the raw material used, Rapunzel pasta can be divided into the Semola range, the Wholemeal range and the Splet range.
The Semola series is the legal standard pasta, which is produced from durum grain wheat flour (Sanvenina flour) milled from Durum wheat, which has the characteristics of high density and high protein, and the flour is slightly coarser than ordinary high-gluten wheat flour, because it is pressed and formed, and the taste is slightly hard but easy to chew after cooking. The Semola series of pasta is very rich, in addition to the regular shapes such as straight, short and thin, butterfly shapes, there are many round, rice grain, small rings, letter shapes and other shapes, which can supplement protein and make the eating process more interesting. In addition, when the baby is not proficient in using a fork and spoon, the slightly larger macaroni and screw-shaped pasta can be used as finger food for the baby to grasp to cultivate his ability to eat independently.
The Wholemeal series is made of whole wheat flour with higher fiber content, and the Splet series is made from Speer wheat with a slightly nutty flavor and a harder shell, although the taste of these two is harder than the Semola series, but it contains more balanced and rich nutrients, and the gluten is weaker than the Semola series, and it is also not easy to cause throat jamming or swallowing difficulties after chewing, and it is easy to digest, and babies over 1 year old can basically cope with it. Moreover, these two series are just as rich in styling as the Semola series, which is a good choice to improve the taste. Unfortunately, the Splet series was not introduced to China like the Semola series and the Wholemeal series, so you can only buy overseas if necessary.
The pasta from the Rapunzel range can be distinguished by the packaging colours, with the Semola collection in dark red and dark green and dark blue for the Wholemeal and Splet, respectively. There are two specifications: 250g and 500g, and the price is about 29.8 yuan/bag and 45.8/bag, and the price of overseas shopping is relatively cost-effective.
