EXPLORE CUISINEOrganic Chickpea Fusilli - Pack of 6 (8 oz) - Easy-to-Make Gluten Free Chickpea Pasta - High in Plant Protein & Fiber - Non-GMO - 24 Total ServingsUSDA Organic

I recently shifted to mostly vegetarian and needed more options for protein. These are great! I do not like beans and have tried other bean type pastas and mostly dont care for the texture. But these do not have an off putting flavor or texture. Much better than other chickpea pasta, such as Banza. I will happily replace all pasta with these. They are somewhat expensive considering pasta is cheap, but worth it for the protein. Love it!

I’m beyond disappointed and angry. This pasta was different and better than any chickpea pasta on the market. It made me a loyal customer for years. I ate this at least twice a week. Now their recipe has changed (does not include tapioca starch and pea protein) which made it sub par just like it’s competitors. It tastes bland and it falls apart easily while cooking and turns into a big glob of pasta rather than individual separated tasty noodles. You’re better off saving your money and buying a cheaper brand. Sadly I will no longer be a customer after so many years of enjoying this product.

Super yummy, but really expensive

Hello, I love the flavor, so much like regular pasta. Most important is the protein content. I’m pretty much a vegatatian and this is a wonderful product. I share this with my family and they like it too.

We are trying to eat gluten free and of all the GF pasta I have tried, this is the best. When cooked al dente it has a fantastic texture (no mush) and the flavor is very good. I have purchased this several times and is now my go to "pasta".

Unfortunately, the brand has completely cheaped out and changed the recipe for the chickpea fusilli. However, they’re still charging the same price. What used to be the gold standard of chickpea noodles is now completely inedible. It turns to mush when you cook it, and once you start eating, it sticks in your teeth.When I had ordered this after the recipe change, I had to double-take here - I truly thought I had been delivered a scam pack of noodles from one of the worst brands but packaged in Explore Cuisine boxes - nope. Same brand, just terrible noodles now :/I don’t know why they changed the recipe - their website claims it’s simply for the shorter cooking time, but the noodles already had a short cooking time. I’m unaware anyone demanded horrific quality in exchange for saving two minutes (truly).I just assume some higher-up thought it was better to tank the quality and cheap out to line their pockets. I’m unsure if they realized it’d result in a mass abandonment of these particular noodles. Maybe they wanted to phase these out and thought wasting product would be better than just pulling it? Who knows, but the disappointment is real - this was my go-to brand and go-to fusilli.That said, I still buy the red lentil penne - at least that one is still good.

Fantastic! Made it with chicken broth, tasted very good, and perfect consistency and texture, even two days later heated it up and was still just fine. Don’t think anyone would know the difference if I didn’t tell them, after dinner of course.

I've been buying Explore Cuisine lentil and chickpea pastas for years now, but they've changed the recipe. I like my pasta cooked a little more than al dente, but due to more recent negative reviews, I cooked it a little less than the recommended time. It quickly turned into a solid pile of mush. It was inedible. I don't have any older boxes to see if I could spot any changes to the recipe, but the chickpea noodles themselves are smaller than they were previously. Wish I had heeded the warnings. Now I have 5 boxes that will probably go in the compost pile. They've ruined what was a very good pasta. Too bad. I guess I won't be buying Explore Cuisine again.
