Nutritional Properties of èViva Products

Dr. Michele Sozio, a nutritionist biologist, provides an in-depth analysis of the nutritional properties of èViva products, including natural flours and semolina with live wheat germ and artisanal pasta with wheat germ.
There are many flours and food pastas on the market, often sharing the characteristic of bronze drawing; however, we often know nothing about the grain used to produce them, nor is there mention of the transformation carried out or the agricultural techniques used.

The Importance of Real Food

“Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food,” said Hippocrates. Consuming real, well-processed foods improves our body’s health and vitality. For this reason, the mission of Raffaele from Azienda Agricola Piano is to provide well-being through its products. “I would never sell something I couldn’t eat myself“: this is the motto and business style of Raffaele, which makes his work an ethical enterprise. Every step of his production chain is careful and conscientious, starting from the Italian wheat cultivated in the Tavoliere delle Puglie, from which the “full-bodied” semolina is obtained. This means that the caryopsis (grain kernel) is gently ground, and the germ, which is generally removed in industrial processes, remains in the flour.

Benefits of Wheat Germ

Wheat germ imparts aroma and flavor and enriches flour and pasta with unique nutritional properties. This feature reduces the shelf life to six months for flours and two and a half years for pasta, ensuring a fresh and nutritious product.
èViva products are functional because the presence of wheat germ provides noble fatty acids, vitamins A and E, and minerals, and gives a lower glycemic index compared to industrial pastas and flours. The functionality of the pasta is demonstrated by the fact that it is sold in pharmacies as a parapharmaceutical and is included in the Farmadati database.

Positive Health Effects

èViva products have direct effects on intestinal health and the whole body, positively influencing physiological functions that contribute to maintaining and improving health and reducing the risk of diseases related to poor diet.
The short supply chain from which the wheat used is derived ensures that the finished product contains no residues of mycotoxins and glyphosate, elements that threaten human health.

High Digestibility and Satiety

The high digestibility of the flours and pasta is due to the method of processing and the cultivation of the wheat. The products are better tolerated by those with intestinal sensitivities, providing a feeling of lightness and satiety due to the high protein content (>14%) and the low availability of simple carbohydrates.

The Agricultural Phase and Sustainability

Azienda Agricola Piano is committed to sustainability, choosing a system that combines organic and conventional farming practices to reduce environmental impact.
The Mediterranean diet and the pyramid products are often discussed, but the transformation techniques that significantly affect the nutritional quality of the finished product are rarely mentioned. Slow processing and drying at very low temperatures (36°/44°) make “èViva” pasta natural and alive in every sense.

The Importance of Quality

The constant search for quality is an essential requirement for Raffaele, which translates into meticulous attention to naturalness from the field to the finished product. The pasta smells of wheat and fields already during cooking; the nutritional and sensory advice is to combine it with legumes to ensure complete protein intake, evoking a rustic recipe that makes us dream of eating this dish in the open countryside.
