(

Hi, I came by to promote this, but feel it reads mostly like a recap of scientific studies. Would you be able to add something about Uses (bread, pizza dough, pasta)? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:26, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

I prefer this hook, which was approved by another editor. I see nothing wrong with this hook, whereas a simpler hook may not interest readers as much. Also, adding yet more information to this hook would make it too wordy, imo. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 22:29, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

@Northamerica1000: Sorry I wasn't clear. The hook is fine. It's the article I'm talking about. Yoninah (talk) 22:49, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Banana pasta is a pasta product, so it's straightforward. Bread and pizza dough is not typically made from pasta. It's unclear how I could add content about pizza dough and bread being made from pasta, because it typically isn't. Are you confusing this topic with banana flour?

I added more content stating that it is cooked by boiling, and about it's higher water higher absorption rate compared to standard pasta (diff). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 17:07, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
I have also added content about how it can be dried for later use (diff). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 17:10, 19 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, that brings it up to start level, IMO. If you wish, you could break out some of the lead description into a new section, "Description", but that won't hold up the DYK. No close paraphrasing seen in new material. Restoring tick per Jakob Coles' review. Yoninah (talk) 17:21, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
