About Dried Vermicelli
A starch product made from mung bean or potato starch; almost pure carbs.
Health Benefits of Dried Vermicelli
Pure-starch carb source
100g of dry vermicelli has about 83g carbs and only 0.8g protein - very pure starch. Mung-bean vermicelli is springy and resists overcooking; sweet-potato ones are softer. Dry vermicelli is about 335 kcal/100g; cooked, it absorbs water to swell 2-3x and drops sharply in calories.
Low in protein, pair with protein foods
Home-cooked classics absorb the flavor of the sauce; duck-blood vermicelli soup and garlic-steamed scallops with vermicelli are common. Pair with protein foods for better balance.
Portions
A serving of dry vermicelli (50-80g) is about 170-270 kcal; cooked it becomes 150-240g. It has almost no protein or fiber, so add plenty of vegetables and egg/meat. It is gluten-free, making it a good noodle substitute for gluten-avoiders.
