China is the world’s largest consumer of instant noodle country . Recently, Taiwan’s TVBS news network reported that, although the noodles make you save time, health is threatened. Study found that eating a bowl of instant noodles is equivalent to drinking 65 ml of soy sauce, salt intake far exceeded.
As for this, the following will talk about the nutritional value of instant noodles and how to eat to be healthy .
Instant noodles is actually very simple , nothing more than refined white flour, cooking mature first , then quickly fried with palm oil , grease removing attached to the surface , with material package, and then bagging made .
Material package is usually at least two bags, one is a liquid seasoning oil , or add a lot of animal oil sauce packet; another is salt and flavor enhancer and spices , seaweed, shrimp and other mixed powder packets. If there is the third one , that is usually a little bit dehydrated vegetables.
The nutritional value of fried instant noodles , flour plus is actually fat, and fried cake no essential difference, but frying temperature is lower, shorter, whiter , less harmful substances such as acrylamide , nutrient losses less.
Bread containing fat is usually between 16% to 20% , the protein content of not more than 10% , the rest is starch . Which contains a small amount of B vitamins and minerals , they come from flour. However, unless extra added , after frying , the product of the vitamin and mineral content of which is less than the content of the flour . That is , from the nutritional value , instant noodles, steamed bread than ordinary pasta pancakes and the like , and will have a much higher fat — bread fat content of less than 1%.
There are few who do not deep-fried instant noodles , some wet noodle direct sales , some alternative to fried hot air drying dehydration . But their essence is simply fried noodles without adding material package it — the traditional noodles and section, not ” non-fried ” Why, plus material package, is not really what ” nutritious foods . “
Feed bag in the end what ? One of the first major ingredient is fat . If the sauce packets , fat content of more than 50%, and usually room temperature, the state of agglomeration that contains a high proportion of saturated fat . If the oil , it is usually more than 95% fat and unsaturated fat-based only . Powder packets which , then , without exception, contain too much salt , a lot of flavor agent . Light as a feather weight of dehydrated vegetables or diced , etc., only as a color embellishment , having no significant nutritional role .
In general, a 100 g of bread and material package , can provide 450 kcal of energy ; and 100 grams of bread flour , you can only provide 360 kcal of energy. The problem is that a packet of instant noodles can be flattered to eat , a white bread , or a boiled noodles nothing added , then the people somewhat difficult to swallow.
Here, we can draw basic conclusions about instant noodles —
1. Tthe instant noodles is not useless , its main raw material is refined white flour plus fat, nutritional value between oil cake and fried noodles ( without sugar ) between . It is good for energy food , under the weight of the same , can provide more heat than the steamed rice and fat . In some emergency situations, such as travel , wilderness, disaster relief or rescue other occasions, instant noodles can temporarily add energy to the people , save lives.
2. If the instant noodles as a meal with all the food , then it provides the energy which , from the proportion of fat within the ideal range . In other words, a reasonable diet criteria to evaluate which excessive fat content , protein content is too low.
3. Instant noodles is really just an added oil plus salt staple food category is very monotonous. It is not a substitute for vegetables, fruits , meat , eggs, milk and other food nutrients.
Criticism of instant noodles nutritional imbalance , not to say that as a staple food for nothing, but that , instant noodles often used as a meal replacement food people , but it contains nutrients , but also can not afford to meet a nutritional meal responsibilities. If you often spend a meal with instant noodles will cause nutritional imbalances and multiple micronutrient deficiencies.
In normal life, if you must use instant noodles meal , it is best with vegetables and fruits , the best add an egg or a small amount of soy products. So , you can make instant noodles nutritional balance improved.
4. The sauce packet of instant noodles high salt , oil high, therefore, can only put half foam noodles material package , and the best surface does not eat soup .
