Regular wheat flour pasta is filling but monotonous. What if you added buckwheat, flax, corn, or oat to the familiar wheat base? That's exactly how WITELA dietary noodles work: 70% wheat flour for familiar texture and elasticity + 30% flour from healthy crops that enrich the composition with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. In this article, we explore the varieties and what makes each one special.
How It Works: Wheat + Healthy Addition
The idea behind WITELA dietary noodles is simple and elegant. The wheat flour base provides what we're used to: the noodles cook well, hold their shape, and have a pleasant texture. The 30% alternative flour adds benefits that regular pasta doesn't have.
This is not a "gluten-free" product — WITELA noodles contain gluten from wheat flour. But they're not ordinary pasta either. Each variety gets a unique set of nutrients from its addition: Omega-3 from flax, beta-glucan from oat, rutin from buckwheat, fiber from bran.
This approach is a good compromise for those who want to eat healthier but aren't ready to completely give up familiar taste and texture.
6 Varieties of WITELA Noodles
All varieties come in 400 g packages. Cooking time is 7–10 minutes depending on the variety.
Buckwheat Noodles
30% buckwheat flour gives the noodles a dark color and characteristic nutty flavor. Buckwheat is a source of rutin (vitamin P), which strengthens blood vessel walls and capillaries. Buckwheat also contains plenty of plant protein and iron. These noodles resemble Japanese soba but with a more familiar texture thanks to the wheat base.
Pairs well with: stir-fry with vegetables and chicken, Asian sauces (teriyaki or TAMA soy sauce), mushroom gravies.
Corn Noodles
Bright yellow noodles with a delicate, slightly sweet flavor. Corn flour is rich in B vitamins, iron, and magnesium. The "lightest" in the lineup — easily digestible and suitable for children's meals.
Pairs well with: vegetable soups, cream sauces, as a side dish for stewed vegetables.
Flaxseed Noodles
30% flax flour means Omega-3 fatty acids and soluble fiber in every serving. Flax is beneficial for the heart, blood vessels, and digestion. The noodles have a mild nutty flavor and slightly coating texture after cooking.
Pairs well with: olive oil with garlic and herbs, light vegetable sauces, chicken broth. Learn more about the benefits of flax in our article about flax porridge and kissel.
Oat Noodles
Oats contain beta-glucan — a soluble fiber clinically proven to lower "bad" cholesterol (LDL). Noodles with oat flour have a mild, neutral flavor and slightly more delicate texture. Universal — suitable for virtually any sauce.
Pairs well with: meat and mushroom gravies, tomato sauces, casseroles.
Bran Noodles
Wheat bran is the outer shell of the grain, where fiber is concentrated. Bran noodles are especially filling: fiber slows carbohydrate absorption and provides a lasting feeling of satiety. A great option for those watching their weight.
Pairs well with: hearty meat stews, braised vegetables, thick soups.
Borodinsky Noodles
The most unusual option — noodles with 30% rye flour. A distinctive dark color and rich flavor reminiscent of Borodinsky bread. Rye flour is rich in fiber, B vitamins, and minerals. A real find for those who love unconventional flavors.
Pairs well with: meat broth (makes an aromatic noodle soup), braised beef, sour cream sauces.

Why Dietary Noodles Are Better Than Regular Pasta
Regular pasta from premium wheat flour is essentially fast carbs with minimal fiber and vitamins. WITELA noodles, thanks to 30% alternative flour, offer notable advantages:
- More fiber — especially in bran, flaxseed, and oat varieties. Fiber slows blood sugar spikes and provides longer-lasting satiety.
- Additional vitamins and minerals — rutin from buckwheat, iron from corn, B vitamins from oats.
- Omega-3 — in flaxseed noodles. Plant-based Omega-3 is completely absent in regular pasta.
- Variety of flavors — 6 different types instead of one "pasta is pasta."
- Familiar texture — thanks to the wheat base, the noodles cook and behave like regular ones. No need to get used to an unfamiliar consistency.
The price of WITELA noodles is only slightly higher than regular pasta, and a 400 g package is enough for 4–5 servings.
