Birkel High Protein is a high-protein dry pasta range from the German brand Birkel. According to the product page, it is made from 80% durum wheat semolina and 20% wheat protein, without egg; the package may contain traces of soy and egg. Dry pasta contains 25 g of protein per 100 g, noticeably more than ordinary dry pasta made only from semolina.
The range has three shapes: Röhrchen (short tubes), Welloni (wavy shapes) and Spiralen (spirals similar to fusilli). Spiralen are al dente after about 11 minutes in lightly salted boiling water.
The range is aimed at people who want more protein in their diet, for example athletes. Because it is made from wheat, it contains gluten. Apart from the added wheat protein, it belongs to dry durum wheat pasta.
