If you want to get even further away from processed foods you may want to eliminate wheat all together, I have heard that many people are mildly alergic to wheat and don't realize it, the way to tell is if you get very sleepy after eating pasta or bread. I am a vegan who does not eat wheat, I have noticed an increase in energy since stopping wheat, I use quinoa pasta now. it is much higher in protein and tastes more like white pasta than the whole wheat pastas but is not processed, it is supposed to be one of the healthiest grains you can eat since the proportions of amino acids in quinoa grain (not technically a grain but many people call it a grain) most closely resemple that of what the human needs to synthesize protein. They actually sell it at most stores, and the nice thing is it's hard to overcook quinoa pasta, it always has an al dente texture, very nice.
