Highest protein: pasta, ranked
Two pastas and noodles tie for the most protein on Australian shelves at 24.9 g protein per 100 g: Vetta SMART Protein Spirals Pasta 375g and Vetta Smart Protein Penne Pasta 375g, all verified against their pack labels.
Ordinary durum pasta carries a respectable 12 g protein per 100 g dry, but legume pastas rewrite the scale: chickpea and lentil spirals push past 20 g. The protein-pasta premium is real; this list shows exactly how real.
Method. Protein per 100 g dry from the verified dataset. Only dried pastas are ranked; fresh and filled pasta declare a wetter basis and are not comparable per 100 g. Covers the 162 on-shelf products with this
value; updated with the shelf. Ties rank jointly. Never sponsored, never hand-ordered.
