Products in ‘Instant Noodles’ category range from 0.5 - 3
- Fibre Source
Product with decent amount of Dietary Fibre (5%-10% of day's recommended intake) is better than a similar one with zero or negligible amount of fibre) - at least it's a start!
Packaged foods generally do not have Dietary fibre so a product with some amount of dietary fibre is always welcome.
Fibre is not a nutrient but plays a key role in managing your body regularities - Bowel movement - Keeping constipation at bay, a control on Blood Sugar spike and check on blood cholesterol.
However, follow the principle of balance and don't go overboard by eating only fibre rich food.
- Good Source of Protein
It is important that products rich in protein are included in the daily diet.
Protein is the main ingredient of structural and functional component of body. Proteins function as building blocks for muscles, cartilage, bones, skin, and blood. They are also building blocks for enzymes and hormones.
Try and eat more such food products that give you good amount of Protein.
- Food Sensitivity Alert for MSG
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the sodium salt of the common amino acid i.e. Glutamic acid, popular for its usage as flavouring agent in Asian Cooking.
This glutamate salt is also found naturally in various foods such as tomatoes and cheese as well as ingredients such as hydrolyzed vegetable protein, hydrolysed groundnut protein, autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed yeast, yeast extract, soy extracts, and protein isolate.
Some people are sensitive to MSG having adverse effects such as headache, depression, etc. on regular consumption of this salt.
Indian law requires that foods containing Added MSG list it in the ingredient panel on the packaging with the warning that it should not be consumed by infants below 12 months. However, if ingredients that have naturally occurring MSG, are added to the product then the product may not specify in regards to its presence.
Pregnant & Lactating women & Infants should avoid Products containing MSG .

Calories in a food come from carbohydrates, protein and fat. The above product however has more calories from fat, which is not desirable and thus is considered “high in fat”.
So think again before you go binging on it, as every gram of fat matters!
- Make the Noodles Healthier
The general consensus is that noodles/pasta is an unhealthy dish, thanks to the extra sauces and cheese added along with the high carbohydrate hype, thus your favourite noodle just won't give you a “healthy plate”. But a few changes to these humble strands will make it healthy.
- Adding more of fibre rich green leafy veggies (spinach, lettuce) and other veggies (carrots, onions, roasted eggplant, peppers) or sprouts is a great start to reducing portion size of just plain pasta.
- Instead of heaping your pasta with white sauce, adding a slice of melted cheese or grated mozzarella will give the flavour required.
- Also, do not throw away the water you boiled the pasta/noodles in. Use it to make sauces as the starch in it helps add more flavour to the dish.
- Adding a little protein in the form of few minced meat or shredded chicken pieces will give good flavour.
- And last but not the least sprinkle some herb mix of (rosemary, thyme, basil, chilli) to make the dish come alive. With these small steps make healthy eating your long term goal.
- Highly Processed!
Additives are added to the packaged foods for different reasons varying from increasing shelf life, to provide flavour and texture, increasing nutrition quality or required to manufacture some types of food.
One of the ways to determine the degree of Processing is the number of additives you find in the ingredient list. The higher the number of additives greater is the degree of processing. Additives can be identified by looking for ingredients that begin with 'E' and have a number in them.
It is generally recommended that food that is closer to nature is better hence it is better to choose food products with lesser number of additives.
