Low-carb elbow macaroni

Low-carb elbow pasta is a healthy alternative to traditional pasta, designed for those looking to reduce their carbohydrate intake without giving up delicious and comforting dishes. This type of pasta is usually made with ingredients such as almond flour, coconut flour, or products derived from soy and other low-carb vegetables.

Originating from the development of functional and dietary foods, low-carb elbow pasta became especially popular in countries with high demand for options for ketogenic diets, low-carb diets, and weight management.

Among its main properties, the following stand out: a significantly lower carbohydrate content compared to conventional pasta, a high fiber content, and in many cases, an important source of protein and healthy fats, depending on the base ingredient. This makes them an ideal option for people with diabetes, keto diets, or for those looking to maintain stable blood glucose levels.

In different regions of Latin America, low-carb elbow pasta may be known as low-carb pasta, keto noodles, or simply ketogenic pasta. Although the term "coditos" is commonly used in Mexico to refer to short pasta, in other countries it may be called by its shape or function, adapting to the local market.
