Banza reviews and discussion

Banza is an awesome pasta alternative since I've tried to cut back on gluten in my diet. I love making banza pasta with Raos tomato sauce and meatballs. It's a very filling meal due to all the protein from the chickpeas and leftovers last a couple days in the fridge. I'm very interested in trying the pizzas next.

I've been a longtime fan of Banza and it's been exciting to see them continue to develop new products. I've had the pasta and mac and cheese and it's a high quality product and I've bought time and again. I would be eager to try their new brand extensions.

I’m a huge fan of this pasta.

Literally so gross. I want to love this because I am a sucker for packaging, and their packaging hits it out of the ballpark, but damn, the taste makes you want to wash your mouth out with soap. Overall, if you're gluten-free, look elsewhere.

I appreciate an opportunity to get protein and fiber, but the texture of this makes it clear that it is definitely NOT PASTA. And it's difficult to get the sauce to adhere - the Banza cooking water does not have the same magic properties as pasta cooking water and so can't be leveraged to get the sauce situation right.

Great alternative to mass-made grain based pasta. My favorite shape by them that also holds sauce very well is cavatappi. However there are other lentil based pastas that have higher fiber and protein. If you're looking to buy high quality dry grain based pasta, look for organic grain, die-cut, slow-dried.

I really like the taste of Banza and the texture, but I stopped buying the brand when I read about the high levels of heavy metals in their pasta. I really hope it's not true or, if it is true, that they will address it and fix it.

Yummy

It tastes ok

Delicious!

I have recently tried out the BANZA brand of pasta and I love the taste. I enjoy that this pasta is healthy and nutritious and knowing that I am eating a well prepared meal for dinner.

Bananza for banza, more veggies is always a good thing

I loved the concept but unfortunately never feels great after eating. A bit to processed for my preference.

This was not good. I wanted it to be good but the texture was dry and a bit cardboard like

In my household, we've been looking for ways to enjoy pasta without spiking our glucose levels. Banza proved to be a pretty good choice! The texture is a little different from traditional pasta, but it isn't as noticeable as other brands.

i love the protein aspect but it definitely TASTES like added protein powder (grainy, offputting texture, rubbery, cooks kinda funny), but is an adequate pasta substitute if there's a great sauce.

Rubbery, poorly flavored, disintegrated easily. Very, very distinguishable from durum wheat pasta. I wanted to love it, but instead it was so bad that I'm loathe to try other pasta alternatives for the foreseeable future.

Great brand. I haven’t had anything from Banza that I haven’t liked. My very picky eaters can never tell the difference from this vs other options.

Pretty good!

Not for people with Irritable bowel syndrome :( The taste was great but if you suffer with belly discomfort i would not recommend these products
