Over the years, single-serve cup of noodle products have come to be seen as quick and inexpensive yet unhealthy meals that are packed with undesirable additives but they have been reinvented as of late, as exemplified by everything from options with reduced sodium and vitamin enhancements.
Nissin recently launched a vegetarian-friendly Cup Noodles Very Veggie Soy Sauce Flavor that contains a full serving of vegetables, without any added MSG or artificial flavors. While some of the most popular instant noodle flavors are chicken and beef, brands are now introducing entirely vegan- and vegetarian-friendly flavors.
With a focus on health, food brands are also reformatting the familiar comfort food with a healthy spin by using premium organic ingredients, plus gluten-free brown rice noodles or soybean noodles.
