There are many types of noodles now, such as vegetable noodles, buckwheat noodles, egg noodles, handmade noodles, etc., and they taste different. Many people think that eating these noodles is good, economical, and nutritious, but some of these noodles may not be what you imagine. Here are some things to consider when choosing noodles! What kind of noodles should not be bought

1. Noodles with very high sodium content

Generally when producing noodles, merchants will add some sodium to make the whole noodles look more colorful. Although it looks very attractive in appearance, the salt content is often very high when cooking noodles. Generally, the content of normal noodles is 450~600 mg. If it exceeds this indicator , then the taste of dried noodles will not be much better, and it will also be very harmful to human health.

2. Noodles containing sodium carbonate

If we see noodles with sodium carbonate, be sure not to buy them, because sodium carbonate will make the whole noodles look very shiny. , and the taste is also very good and elastic, but sodium carbonate will destroy the nutritional structure and ingredients of the noodles.

3. Vegetable noodles

In supermarkets, "children's vegetable noodles" take up a lot of space. Whether it is mushrooms, spinach, celery or tomatoes, they are juiced, mixed, and dried. During the process of making noodles, all the vitamins and nutrients are lost, and most of what remains is just the taste of vegetables and very few nutrients, which is not a high-quality nutritious food for children. Some nutritionally fortified noodles are artificially added with iodine, iron, zinc, etc. during the production process. If the specific amount of addition is indicated, you can purchase it according to your own situation. However, consumers with a generally balanced diet and nutrition do not need to choose this type of noodles.

4. Egg noodles

Egg noodles are the best-selling among many "nutritional noodles". Many people think that there are really eggs in them. But everyone doesn’t know that the process of making noodles with fresh eggs is strict, and if you are not careful, it may produce odor and cause deterioration. Therefore, adding egg yolk powder (whole chicken egg powder) has become the first choice of most noodles manufacturers.

Egg yolk powder is made by drying egg liquid into powder through multiple processes. This makes it easier to store and transport, but it will lose some of the nutrients in the eggs. Generally, the amount added in dried noodles is mostly 5 to 8, and will not exceed 10. If too much egg is added, the noodles will taste hard, and the merchants will certainly not do a loss-making business.

5. Mung bean noodles with the word "Jing"

Mung bean noodles are also very popular, including "Mung Bean Cool Noodles" and some "Mung Bean Nutritious Noodles" specially for children. "Dried Noodles", you may think that the word "mung bean flour" in the ingredient list has the effect of relieving heat and clearing away heat. But if the ingredient list says "mung bean powder" or "refined mung bean powder", don't buy it. As long as the word "fine" is added, the powder has lost most of its vitamins and minerals. What's more, although it is said to be mung bean noodles, there is no sign of mung beans in the ingredient list.

6. Buckwheat noodles

Buckwheat noodles are also a popular pasta. However, ordinary buckwheat flour is white, and if the noodles are not additionally stated to be made of tartary buckwheat or black tartary buckwheat, they should generally not be darker in color.

7. Noodles with guar gum added

When buying noodles with allergies, some people will also look at the shelf life of the noodles. Generally, the shelf life of the noodles is The shelf life is about 12 months, and the shorter the shelf life, the better and fresher the noodles will be. However, when making noodles, some businesses add guar gum to the noodles to increase their elasticity, prevent sticking, retain water, and increase chewy texture. Eating too much of this kind of noodles is harmful to the body. It will cause great harm, so when buying noodles, you must pay attention to the formula table to see if this kind of thing is added.

It looks good and sales increase, so some whitening agents are added to the noodles.
