Vermicelli

  • Shape: Vermicelli
  • Description: With a name derived from the Italian for “little worms,” vermicelli is a long, thin pasta. The shape is narrower in diameter than spaghetti but thicker than angel hair, making it well suited for use in soups and lighter dishes, and for holding light to medium sauces.

Details

APPLICATIONS

A pasta's ingredient blend is a major factor in determining its application suitability. To ensure pastas meet your needs, reference the ingredients used in its manufacture, in many cases, blends can be customized to your specifications.

INGREDIENTS

Different shape and ingredient blends define a pasta's characteristics, which may include cook time, processing durability and more. Applications describe the most suitable and common uses for various pastas.

Thickness

Because the cross sections of vermicelli are circular and without hollow centers, there are no measurable wall thicknesses.

Width

The outside diameters of vermicelli are measured using precision digital calipers.

Length

The lengths of vermicelli are determined as the distances between ends. Depending on required lengths, measurements are taken using either precision rulers or tape measures.

Moisture

To assure specified moisture, two batch samples are ground, weighed, heated in an air oven, placed in a desiccator and then re-weighed. Results are validated using two moisture validation machines.
