I'm health conscious and always look for clean ingredients and better for you options. Banza pasta surprisingly tastes delicious but has only 2 ingredients: brown rice and chickpea. The texture is just right not too hard or chewy. I like that it's gluten-free. I received it for free in exchange for my honest oopinion

Banza is a great alternative to traditional pasta — high in protein, gluten-free, and surprisingly tasty. I expected a strong chickpea flavor, but it’s really mild and pairs perfectly with sauces. My kids didn’t even notice the difference! Banza is now a staple in our pantry. Love that I can make a healthier choice without sacrificing taste or dealing with complaints.

The concept is really good, and they manage to replicate the texture of regular pasta quite well. However, Banza just does not taste good (to me). This is because of the low number of ingredients, and I have this issue with every chickpea pasta. It's pasta shaped, but does not taste like pasta.
