By popular request, here is my full review of almost every pasta and pasta sauce they carry at the grocery store. It's really important that pasta is made from whole grains, because enriched wheat pasta has no nutrition and is a simple carbohydrate. Whole wheat and whole grain pastas are made from complex grains and are not only better for you but won;t spike your blood sugar nearly as much. Pasta sauces need to be made with real ingredients, have no added sugar, and use high quality oil, like extra virgin olive oil. Mad love Bobby...Dessi...and Art! XOXO

What a nice genuine guy to go to the store and inform people on health, love seeing stuff like this.
Like a True Christian
The fbi doesn’t want people to be informed about what’s actually healthy and good for them
@@briancooley8777 is he a Christian? Awww… I didn’t know
What a genuinely “annoying” nice guy .
5:00 Ragu will never touch my lips! As you said, it's GMO soybean oil, it's inflammatory, it is genetically modified industrial waste sludge oil, it's garbage! 🤮
for those that do not have a trader joe's or whole foods within 2 hours distance, nor have a budget that can stand $5 pasta sauce, "Simply Ragu" is a good non organic option: no sugar, 100% olive oil, no preservatives--tomato, olive oil, salt onion, carrots, garlic. $1.89.
I totally agree. The best one is the Marinara flavor
Excellent. grocery.walmart.com/ip/Bertolli-Organic-Traditional-Olive-Oil-Basil-and-Garlic-Pasta-Sauce-24-oz/10312174
Is great too.👍
Appreciate the info.
Thanks alot!!

Do you ever serve it directly from the jar? It’s always doctored, it’s a base.
Love this channel. I pretend to shop along with them. As I am totally disabled, this is a delight for me even if I cannot afford much of what we look at.
William Schutter 😢
♥️
I'm shopping with you brother.😁
What a great idea! I am going to suggest that to some people of mine that are disabled. Thanks for sharing🤗.
Same here! I am not able to leave my house ☹️ or get out of bed for that matter.
I have used Rao’s sauce for a couple years now. I stumbled upon it just because I wanted a sauce with good flavor, so now it’s good to know I have select a good option. Thanks for all the great information, I am learning a lot.
I’ve always got Rao’s stocked at home! And stock up the few times my local store has it on sale! It’s the best and definitely worth the price!
Thank you both for your video. I’ve learned to read labels on everything I bought. All these years I’ve eaten and fed my children were wrong... Your sessions worth more than my college degree. Very educational.
I’m loving these weekend videos
whole foods? you mean, whole paycheck.
Actually Whole Foods prices aren’t that bad anymore
😂😂😂😂😂
True
Those red lentil pasta alternatives are a total life changer and fairly cheap but man it is disappointing that the healthier alternatives for sauce are so absurdly expensive. That Rao's sauce tastes godlike and is ultra healthy minus a tiny bit of added sugar, but man it's expensive.
But it’s an investment for your health. Keep that in mind!
You have been a Godsend on my new healthy, knowledgeable eating habits. I have slowly switched to different things. I have now changed out my regular pasta for chickpea pasta. 365's is okay but Tolerant is definitely a winner! Thanks for what you do.
I’m starting slowly I’ll get there
Just buy a can of Italian tomatoes add garlic, mushrooms whatever is cheaper than the jarred stuff. Aldredo sauce is easy to make from scratch, no chemicals.
Exactly. Making a marinara sauce is the easiest and cheapest thing you can do. I am Italian and I am fortunate to go shopping in parents cellar and take their fresh ground tomatoes.
people are lazy and most of them they have no idea how to cook
Locutus what are ground tomatoes, please. Thanks so much
@@carlabridgesmason3529 they are run through a mill that crushes and removes the seeds and skin, leaving only the meaty pulp. Cheap hand crank ones are available and can turn a bushel of tomatoes into about twenty litres of delicious sauce. Much cheaper than store bought sauce.
People are so lazy to peel some tomatoes, add some garlic, salt etc...and make a simple, healthy tomato sauce.
love this! so glad to know these things! you're helping me change my life 💙 love the humor but most of all have learned to read labels better!!!
Being I’m home with Pericarditis at the moment. I have nothing but time to learn to change my lifestyle in food and dinning. I came across your channel and I must say thank you I can appreciate your channel. I’m a big Costco prego barilla pasta guy and now I will definitely being changing up my selection in choices. Again thanks for the video. You got a new subscriber for sure.
You have certainly opened my eyes as to the sugar content with Ragu, Classic, and others. Little by little I'm going to work my way back into using only my own sauce (which I have done in the past). It was just too convenient and cheap to use the others--not realizing how bad they are.
First time viewer and this is a real eye opener👀 thanks so much for all of this awesome info ✌🏻❤️ will be reading more food label’s from now on
Thank you Art and Bobby! Your videos are so helpful to keep us healthy...
I appreciate your channel, and I wish more people would watch your channel to educate themselves about food. 💜
Where has this channel been all my life! Subscribed to all platforms, notification bell clicked!
I just used pure stewed tomatoes and I put my own herbs and spices.
I'm so glad you included some of the white sauces. I'm definitely going to look for Raos. Thank you for all the great videos.
Noone eats plain pasta. Its always consumed with oil,cheese or fatty sauces. So white flour pasta won't spike blood sugar levels as high as we think it would.
So true. I was thinking the same thing
How about a holiday baking edition? Pointing out the best flour, and sugar substitutes to use for cookies 🍪
You guys are the freakin’ best. Love the information you give us! Keep up the great work!
Appreciate the honest and informed analysis of food products. This is good content. Subbed!
So read the labels!! Love that Tighten Up was playing in the background at the end of the video!
I’m Greek and Italian and therefore a pasta purist. The best tasting pasta is the Organic 365 from Whole Foods. I’ve tried the Banza, not bad really, but when it comes to texture and flavor you can’t beat the good stuff from WF. I only eat pasta about twice a month, so. I’m not worried about lack of nutrition, I’m filling my sauce with veg and beans so it doesn’t matter to me.
It's nice to see a video where there used to be full shelves of food. Now the only pasta sauces you can find on the shelves are the really expensive ones. It's interesting to see that some of the labels of the ones you liked at Walmart were made in Italy. I'm definitely going to look for those. I wish we had a Whole Foods where I lived, I'd love to try some of those too.
What a great and informative video...thank you so much for making and sharing your thoughts
Thanks guys, I’m new to the channel and I’m loving it. Thanks guys for the uploads and the education.
I grew up in family where we only used homemade sauce. As I got older, I wanted to try store bought in jars to make things easier. I tried many of them, maybe 15 or so. The only one that tasted like homemade was the Victoria brand in marinara. I highly recommend that brand, especially if you are Italian and grew up eating homemade only.
That's funny since my brother loves tortellini, but the only sauce he will eat with it is Victoria. But it's way too expensive nowadays 🤣
@@JohnnyDoh yes, it's very expensive, last time I bought it a few weeks ago, it was $7 for a 24 oz. jar! That is crazy!
@@JohnnyDoh
It’s $5.48 for a 24 ounce jar at Walmart in my area. Not bad really.
Out of all of the pastas, which one taste the best? Thank you for all of this info. Really helpful.
LOVE this series.. lve learned so much about additives and quality to look for in food :)
Thanks for this! I never thought to read ingredients on jar sauces, I was blissfully unaware. I bought sauce last night and made a educated choice for me and my family !
Bobby has amazing talent the way he can still talk in the camera when by standers brushing past him lmao
No review of whole grain pastas at Walmart; skipped organic tomato sauces. Trader Joe's or Whole Foods are not accessible in every town. 😔
Order on line
According to internet search, trader Joe's is 3 1/2 hrs away.
My nearest grocery is 20 miles next option 45 plus miles.
Damm there’s like 5 Trader Joe’s in my city & 5 Whole Foods in my city....
Yeah he never says nothing about whole grain pastas.
Love watching these videos while I'm waking up with my coffee!! Sending love from Cali!! 😊❤️👍🏻
I love all your videos, especially the ones you upload on the weekends. 👍🏼😀
So I’ve heard you hit on several ingredients in several videos to stay away from. Can you do a video of major no no ingredients to steer clear of when grocery shopping altogether? Like carrageenan, soy bean oil, etc. I’d love an all in one video. I never realized how much sugar is in Ragu! Crazy!
That would be great. 🙂
If you get organic usda one, u dont have to worry about it.
Yes, maybe a printable pdf we can have in our phone when going grocery shopping for quick reference.
@@msmreviews8408 that's a fantastic idea! 😊🙂
He released his ebook "Bobby Approved Your Ultimate Shopping Guide At the Grocery Store". It's very detailed and it lists all ingredients. Download the kindle app and search for his ebook. I believe it's only 9.99 and it'll automatically update when he adds new information. 🙂
I've always made my own sauce It takes any where from 10 mins for a simply recipe to 4 hrs for a more complex sauce. Use canned tomatoes with little or no sugar .U can make it sweet if U want use a carrot when U cook it down. And the cost is very little even using top grade canned tomatoes.
In the summer I make it fresh get any kind of tomatoes at ur local farm put them in a blender with parsley, olive oil and a peeled clove of garlic . That's it no cooking at all and it will freeze nice.
Bobby is amazing! Thank you for being so knowledgeable.
Bobby and Art are awesome guys!! thank you for informing people on how to eat healthy
“Gretzky denied! 🥅 🤣 This was encouraging and interesting. Thanks for the assist in my shopping this week.
Thank you so much for sharing l love your channel 🙏🏻❤️🌱
Yay, Banza! I just discovered this brand and have been enjoying joining my husband for occasional pasta dinners again!
Extremely valuable information. Thank you so much. This is what I want to watch on YT.
Lesson: make your own sauces and freeze it in small containers.
Yup, I make my own now and use my own seasoning and I sweeten it lakanto monkfruit.
I buy the bottles of strained tomatoes(from Italy), only tomatoes and salt and only 88c and add my own spices, garlic, and onions.
I grow my own tomatoes and can spaghetti sauce.
@@amybarker2385 good idea Less salt
I make my own rose sauce. So good and flavorful
Why did you skip the Jovial pasta? I use jovial and their ingredients are organic brown rice & water. That’s it. The texture of their pasta when cooked is fantastic even my 6 year can’t tell the difference. Also I highly recommend the Mezzetta brand pasta sauces. Clear ingredient list. Not always organic but they use premium ingredients like extra virgin olive oil. And they are sugar free.
Really like your videos Bobby. Thank you
This is a great video, I literally changed my shopping list.
thanks so much for doing this.
Thanks bro.. I have always used named brands and my kids love it.. but now I have to rethink the way to do my pasta..
Buc-ee's represent!! Thanks for this information. Do you have a trick to keep the whole grain/bean pasta from sticking? I have a terrible time keeping it from clumping up!
Bobby you should make an asian foods haul from the asian markets.
Dot8o love this idea!!!
Oh! This would be great! I never know what to get there other than produce
Yes, Would love to see Asian products like oyster sauce, red curry paste, etc.
Great idea!
You’re not gonna like what you find... lol
Thanks Bobby this is a huge help I have some pastas you mentioned in my cupboard that I need to get rid of plus a Rago pasta sauce that should go too.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL AND WE ALL LOVE BOBBY! Keep making these videos because YOU ARE THE “BOMB”
Thanks Bobby for the great info on what to look for and considering the only brands we have here in Mexico is the Ragu and the Prego, the best thing for us here is probably to make the Spaghetti sauce from scratch, as for the pasta, I've see the red lentil, the quinoa and the brown rice pastas at health food stores, looking for them at Costco, where they could be a li'l cheaper.
What’s up Bobby and Art 🤗🤗 Thank you so so so much for these in depth videos of how why and what foods are the best for our bodies . Your knowledge is priceless!! and delivered with love.(well I feel your love) and also humor 😂 Much Love #keepcooking #madlove #peace p.s. I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS❤️
great video Bobby. I didn't know about the issues with some Pasta brands. I will check next time I purchase Pasta.
Wow...
I'm really going to pay attention to this! Thanks so much.
What do you recommend for spaghetti noodles? My fav. Thanks for the sauce brand info.
There's just something about Art. 😊
Great information as always, thanks so much !
Epic informative content, so happy I found this channel!
You actually do need to add xanthan gum to make a non-wheat flours to stick together. I found this out when trying to make gluten free bread. Love your channel!
do store bought baking mixes and frosting for the holiday season!
Good to hear you mention sulphates. I ended up really poorly and i linked it to sulphates. No more dates for me. Thank you 😊
Thank you! Great video!
Do you prefer the Primal Kitchen Alfredo over Rao's?
Cucina is amazing! Love the tomato basil. IMO it tastes less acidic than Raos, and overall has a better flavor. Also love the edamame pasta. Both are a really great occasional treat!
Great info. Thanks y’all.
I’m so grateful for this video! I’m a huge pasta 🍝 fan
It's simple. just take your grocery budget and multiply by 5.
Exactly. 😒
Well it does pay for itself over time by helping you avoid health issues that come from eating cheaper foods that have harmful ingredients in them.
Bobby pronouncing “Cocina” like “cochina” had me cracking up! My mom was like, WHAT did he call that sauce 😂😂
He actually pronounced it correctly. The brand's name is cucina (Italian) not cocina (Spanish). I'm native in Spanish and fluent in Italian. The one he actually got wrong was "bolognese" because he cut the last "e".
Thank you Bobby and Art.
Thank you so much for teaching us the difference between food and poison.
No filler, All thriller. Make that into a shirt! I'll take 10%😂
Aldi has an amazing organic marinara sauce that is $2. It has no added sugar as well (which is really hard to find in a pasta sauce.)
Hello, can you kindly give me the name of the pasta sauce. Please. Thanks
Thank you for the tip!
Yes they do.
It’s called Simply Organic marinara sauce at Aldi’s.
$1.88 each
Excellent!
I just opened and tasted the organic aldi sauce and the specially selected premium aldi Marinara sauce. There is no comparison. The organic smells and tastes like Ketchup compared to premium. The premium has the 2020 chefsbest award on the label and only cost $2.80. It's made with Italian tomatoes, I'm not sure why they are better but it smells and tastes so fresh and delicious
@@matt4398 yeah i noticed the select costs more than the organic stuff at aldi. i am guessing the non-organic is of higher quality?
Great video for pasta I mainly stick with Banza,Pow,and Tolerant all rich in Protein and Fiber.
Luv your video thank you for giving us this knowledge my sister reads all the labels
I would love a video on paleo meal ideas for the holidays especially for Christmas! ❤️💚😋 Much love Bobbi and Art!! ✌🏻
Thank you so much for doing this for us, appreciate it so much.. Thank you Art for videoing and your input counts.. I am so glad you 2 are a team in this. I love to learn and have learned so much from all of these videos. Being celiac it has helped me so much. You are teaching us to eat healthy and even how to cook, love it. God bless you and the family.. God bless you as well Art..
Thank you. You educated me so much!!
So so helpful thank you so much for sharing your blessings 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Did you hear me screaming at you to look at the Newman's own organic sauce at Walmart?. I was just wondering 🤗
Yes, me too! I saw that the Newman's own said no sugar added so I wish he would have looked at the ingredients.
Love newmans'and, gives to charities
I think you’re missing the real purpose of the channel. It’s not about what exactly what to buy and not to buy. It’s about understanding labels and ingredients, and making the best choice available in your area and within your budget.
I’ve always used barilla pasta. I think ima try the Trader Joe’s one. Thanks
Thank you for informing us! Great video :-)
Good informative video!
I don’t even live in America , but I’ve watched every single video of yours. And now i buy quality products in India.
Thank you Mr. Parrish 💪🏻
What pasta do you recommend at Trader Joe’s?
Samantha Anderson @3:09
Hey Bobby. Thanks for another great video. What are your thoughts about Barilla Whole Grain pasta. It says it's made with one simple ingredient, whole grain durum wheat flour. Non GMO, too. Thoughts?
Thank you Bobby and Art😄
can you do a review on swisher sweet blunt wraps
Lmfao
^this. Swisher vs white owl...Grape vs Peach....We need to know which is Bobby Approved
Thank you Bobby and Art for educating me on ingredients in products. I am reading labels on all the packaged/canned foods I buy. The holidays/football season is here. Do a wine/beer/mixers please.
Miss Valerie who is Art?
yayy Bucee's!!!! I would love to know what are the healthiest options at Bucee's.
There is nothing more delightfully delicious than making homemade pasta and sauce 👌🏻authentic
Honestly Bobby thank you for saving so many of us..my entire life changed because of you
Are you saying yeast extract is the same thing as MSG?
Great video, I learned a lot!
Awesome as always!!
#Sundayfunday I clicked like already before even watching the video! Now back to watching Bobby & Art! 💟☮️
I feel like I get a lot of good information but I also feel that the good stuff is always expensive. Whole Foods isn't somewhere someone on a budget goes to shop.
Exactly and I don't support the founders' liberal ideology
@@michaelconlin5614 I've never thought of my food in "poilitical" terms...
Scotty Haines I agree. Whole Foods is overpriced. Ginger is $8.99/lb vs. $1.99/lb at my local grocery story. Insane. No thank you. I’ll stick to ALDI and Trader Joe’s.
@@michaelconlin5614 🙄
I just came across your videos!! Thank you, just thank you ! What type of cheese would you recommend?
Wow had to subscribe thank you so much for the vid 🍝
