⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
As a refined carbohydrate, they can cause rapid blood-sugar spikes, especially for those with insulin sensitivity or diabetes. To counteract this, pair them with protein (like chicken or tofu) and fiber-rich vegetables to slow digestion. They are also a common source of gluten, which must be avoided by those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

FAQ
What's the difference between egg noodles and regular pasta?
Egg noodles contain a significant proportion of egg in their dough, which gives them a richer flavor, more yellow color, and a slightly more tender, springy texture compared to most pastas made from just flour and water.
Are these noodles a good source of fiber?
No, these unenriched egg noodles are low in fiber, with only about 1.2g per 100g. They are made from refined wheat flour, which has had the fibrous bran and germ removed.
Why are they listed as 'unenriched'?
This means the refined flour used to make them has not had back added vitamins and minerals (like iron, B vitamins, and folic acid) that are often lost during processing. Enriched versions are more common in some countries.
