Organic Kernza® Fusilli Patagonia Provisions
Organic Kernza® Fusilli
Patagonia ProvisionsWe make this delicious pasta with Kernza®, a revolutionary new grain. Unlike most grain varieties, which must be planted annually, Kernza is perennial, meaning it stays rooted in place from year to year. Its deep root system prevents erosion, nourishes the soil, draws down carbon, and produces slender grains full of warm, nutty flavor— just right for pasta.
We combine Kernza flour with semolina for a pleasingly springy texture, then use bronze dies to shape and create a rough surface on our fusilli. The uneven surface allows sauces to cling, saturating each forkful with flavor.

Product Details + Sourcing
Sourcing:
- We use flour milled from organic Kernza perennial grain, a revolutionary new crop that can change the way we grow grains.
- Annual grains like wheat, rice and corn require tilling, which disrupts soil and releases planet-warming carbon. Being a perennial, Kernza stays rooted in place from year to year, minimizing tilling.
- Kernza plants have massive root systems that can reach 12 feet in length.
- These roots prevent topsoil from eroding and nourish billions of microbes that help keep planet-warming carbon underground.
- The Kernza for Patagonia Provisions' pasta is organically grown and milled in the American Midwest.
- To make the fusilli, we blend Kernza flour with organic semolina flour. The resulting pasta has the fresh, nutty flavor and environmental benefits of Kernza, and the pleasingly springy texture of semolina.
- Our pasta is cut and shaped with bronze dies, giving it a rough surface that allows sauces to cling instead of slide off.
