I found this pasta shoved to the back of my pantry. It is telling me that 100g uncooked is 155 calories?? That seems so low! It’s not marketed at low calorie, just normal pasta… it is small spiral pasta, could that be why?
For reference I have included the nutritional information for my low carb high fibre dinosaur pasta that I thought was the lowest calorie option I could find at Woolworths! But this is 353 calories per 100g uncooked.
Could this spiral pasta really be so low!?

I’m confused.. does it not say 350cals for the one serve? 😅 I’d assume the 100g is the cookes amount because labels usually specifically say (dry amount) when reference to dry pasta 100g nutritional information – at least from my experience
Something doesn’t make sense. In one place it says that the serving size is 240g cooked, 100g dry. Then it says the the serving calories is 372. That all makes sense for pasta.
I think the calories listed per 100g on the right side is wrong. It doesn’t match the other info and doesn’t match the ingredients for normal pasta.
The red label packet is poorly laid out but one serving (100g not cooked, 272g cooked) is 372 cals. The serving info appears to be based on when it’s made as directed.
100 grams of cooked pasta is 150 calories. It’s also under 1/2 cup of cooked pasta.
That’s a tiny amount. 1 full cup of cooked pasta (still not a lot) is over 300 calories.
There is no way of getting around this reality….
it’s 100g cooked.
a serving is 240g (cooked)(or 100g uncooked) and a serving is 372 kcal. 100g (cooked) is 155 kcal quick math.
the 2nd image i believe, is expressed differently, as “100g of uncooked product will result in 353 kcal once cooked”. which also checks out.
It literally says one serving is 372. The 150 is not a whole serving
“When made as directed” – it means 100g of cooked pasta.
