Could the dark era of low-carb dieting in America finally be behind us? U.S. pasta consumption is back on the rise after shrinking for years, according to data from research firm Nielsen. In the 52 weeks ending on April 2, dollar sales of dry pasta were up 2.9% year on year.
The trend is reflected in people's online search habits as well. "Pasta is back," Google declared in its new 2016 Food Trends report, based on U.S. search data. Online interest in pasta started picking up in 2015, and continues to rise, according to Google's numbers.
