    Ramen noodles 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!


    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 its the kind with the packet, I only use half. If its the styrofoam kind where you add water, I pour the hot water in, empty it, and refill it again. It's not as an explosive taste, but it cuts down the consumption of the bad that CS talked about.
