Whew! Pasta, like oatmeal and unrefined grains, is digested slowly and therefore is considered heart healthy. Unfortunately, our beloved jiaozi are made with ordinary unbleached flour. I don't care. I'll still eat them.

Update
This is the article cited. It says:

Foods with a low degree of starch gelatinization (more compact granules), such as spaghetti and oatmeal, and a high level of viscose soluble fiber, such as barley, oats, and rye, tend to have a slower rate of digestion.

And slow digestion is good. But I get the feeling people aren't all that sure what they're talking about.
