Not by choice, but because his parents couldn\u2019t afford childcare back in the States. It was there he discovered the lupini bean, a Mediterranean superfood once used to fuel Roman warriors and the same ingredient his grandmother credits for helping her survive World War II. Years later, that inspiration became Brami, a pasta made in the mountains of Molise, Italy, using just two ingredients: durum wheat semolina and lupini bean flour. No shortcuts, no over-processing \u2014 just premium Italian tradition with modern nutritional benefits. While most alternative pastas in the U.S. are ultra-processed and nutritionally empty, Brami stands out by going back to the source. With a vertically integrated supply chain, they control everything from milling to storage, delivering quality you can taste and trust. The result? Brami has grown 1,404 percent year over year and is now sold in over 5,000 stores nationwide, outpacing legacy brands like Goodles, Rummo, and Rao\u2019s. On this week\u2019s episode you\u2019ll learn: \u2022 Why better for you pasta doesn\u2019t mean sacrificing flavor, and how Brami lets you taste Italy every day \u2022 The secret to a healthy, one pot Italian meal that\u2019s as easy as it is nutritious \u2022 What makes Italian food feel so satisfying, and how Brami captures that with a twist \u2022 How the lupini bean went from family secret to venture backed superfood \u2022 How Brami scaled in retail and increased sales by 40 percent at Whole Foods ","author_name":"Startup to Storefront","author_url":"https:\/\/www.startuptostorefront.com\/","html":"
