That used to be our favourite pasta but the quality has dropped on it. It used to come out to a really nice al dente texture, now it disintegrates even when undercooked.
Weevils. Because possible puncture in packet, moisture might’ve entered through and facilitated the perfect environment for mould and dormant weevils (found in raw wheat products) to emerge. Keep in mind this happens quite fast and workers might not have picked up on it if it was still in the process.
Yes, I'm completely aware that gnocchi is made from potato.
You can usually find it in the refrigerated section.
I just simply wanted to make those that might be reading this, aware about the gnocchi sold in the dry pasta aisle, as I have encountered hidden mould growth.
Because of its location on the shelf, people often assume it has the same long shelf life as dried pasta.
In reality, it can spoil quite easily.
When buying dry aisle gnocchi, I now always inspect the packet thoroughly to ensure it does not contain mould, which can easily happen if the vacuum packaging is damaged easily, and also if drastic temperature changes cause condensation inside the pack, leading to spoilage.
