Lotus Foods is launching a new line of healthy ramen noodle cups as a better-for-you alternative to conventional options in the single-serve soup category for on-the-go eating. While many inexpensive ramen noodle cups are made with low-quality ingredients, these two-ounce cups boast all-vegan, gluten-free and non-GMO ingredients.
The Rice Ramen Noodle Soup Cups are offered in three authentic, globally inspired flavors from around the world: Red Miso, Masala Curry and Tom Yum, all with a base of organic brown rice noodles that are never fried. When it's time to eat, the flavorful plant-based noodle soups can be made in the span of about three minutes.
As well as appealing to consumers with healthier food choices, Lotus Foods also offers a range of nutritious products that emphasize fair and direct sourcing.
