The premium pasta products from ZENB can now be found at Sprouts Farmers Market locations nationwide on the Sprouts Innovation Table, which introduces consumers to new and notable specialty food items. Consumers can purchase a variety of popular, classic pasta shapes and wholesome on-the-go meal solutions including:
