About Instant Noodles
A deep-fried instant noodle product; higher in fat and sodium.
Health Benefits of Instant Noodles
Processed food with higher calories
The instant-noodle block is fried to remove water, giving about 20.1g fat per 100g and 472 kcal per pack (~100g block + seasoning). That's over 4x the calories of regular boiled noodles (110 kcal/100g); the fat comes from frying, not the ingredients.
Sodium tends to be high
Instant-noodle seasoning is salty; one pack's sodium can approach or exceed half the daily recommended intake. Fine for occasional emergencies but not as a daily staple. Use only half the seasoning or skip the soup.
Reduce seasoning to lower sodium
If you eat them occasionally, add vegetables, egg or a little lean meat for vitamins and protein, and use half the seasoning to cut sodium and calories. Non-fried (air-dried) versions have less fat and are a better choice.
