Red Days Pasta and rice as healthy extras

[mishmai]

Hi I am just wondering if pasta and rice has to be wholemeal to be used as a healthy extra? or can I just continue using "ordinary pasta/rice?"

On a red day your pasta has to be wholemeal to count as a HEB but I have to say that you get so little that it's hardly worthwhile. Rice can't be used as a HEB at all as it doesn't have enough fibre.

thanks for that, i thought that rice couldn't be used but we all do that little bit of wishful thinking lol
