Brami

Brami makes protein pasta from just Italian durum wheat and lupini beans, kneaded with mountain spring water and bronze-cut in Molise, Italy. The range covers shapes like fusilli, spaghetti, radiatori and curly mac, plus pouches of gently pickled lupini beans for snacking. Founder Aaron Gatti started the brand after childhood meals in his grandparents' kitchen in Italy, hoping to bring that simple, slow way of eating to American tables.
