Health-Conscious Packaged Noodles

These New Itsu Noodles Have Hand-Crafted Broths

The rice noodle cups come in four new flavor options including 'Satay,' 'Katsu,' 'Pho' and 'Chili Miso,' which are all crafted with premium ingredients. This includes hand-crafted broths that are rich and tasty yet maintain a low-calorie profile in comparison to other options presently on the market.

Speaking on the new Itsu noodles creations, the founder of the brand, Julian Metcalf, said, "Itsu’s range of noodle cups were the first of their kind when they launched in 2014, offering a convenient, eat beautiful solution for foodies. We have been looking to innovate the category since and in the past year we have worked really hard to develop a range of noodles with hand-crafted broths that bring to life the authentic flavours of Asia."
