Research notes
Nutrition is from the Nutrition Facts image on the brand's Penne product page (eatbanza.com/products/banza-chickpea-penne): 2 oz (56 g) dry gives 190 kcal, 3 g fat, 31 g carbs (11 g fiber), 1 g sugar and 11 g protein, with about 4 servings per container. The pack's '20g protein' claim is per 3.5 oz. The Amazon 'Nutrition facts' card is an older label (190 kcal, 3.5 g fat, 32 g carbs, 5 g sugar, 14 g protein per 2 oz), so the brand's current label was used. Ingredients: chickpeas, tapioca, pea protein, xanthan gum. Price rule: Amazon's current one-time price, shipped and sold by Amazon.com, with no deal badge and no Typical price shown.
