What can we learn from these nutrition facts?
High in sodium:
First, ramen noodles are very high in sodium and that's pretty bad. Producers of almost all kind of food in North America now tend to put a lot of salt in their recipes, to make sure it's tasty and that consumers will buy the products. It sure might taste good, but our body don't react well to large income of sodium over a long period of time. So what is the solution? Well most of the salt in the noodle package comes from the soup base. Even if it taste good, we really recommand not to add that soup base to your noodles, instead, why not take a look in our recipes section, for healthier and delicious recipes! You can also find information on ramen noodles calories in this section.
Monosodium Glutamate:
What can that be and why is it in my noodles? Glutamate is a flavour enhancer present in most instant-noodles packages, but only in the soup base. The additive has raised many health concerns, for obesity, high tension, nausea and many other problems. This is why we suggest, again, not to use the soup base in the package.
Conclusion: Great, without the soup base
Other then that, we can say that like other kind of pasta, ramen noodles nutrition facts are pretty good and can be part of great complete meals. If you are looking for some recipes with ramen, the website features over 25 with pictures and easy to follow instructions!
