We already know that “ glass noodles” is made from “mung beans”. Since beans are plants that are outstanding in the matter of “protein” nutrients , many people think that cellophane noodles have the same nutritional value as mung beans, which is that they are protein. But in reality, is cellophane noodles really protein? Why do many people still insist that cellophane noodles are starch? We have the answer from an article by โปรโมชั่น ufabet for you.
Is “glass noodles” “protein” or “starch”?
Dr. San said that around 1985, he toured a vermicelli factory in Saraburi, and learned about the vermicelli production process in detail. “They grind mung beans until they become powder, then let them precipitate in a solution. This precipitation process separates the starch from the protein. The starch is used to make vermicelli. This part is 86% starch, with almost no protein. So they usually give it to patients with chronic kidney disease who are afraid of protein. Because compared to other noodles, vermicelli has the least protein. In the production process, the part that precipitates into protein is used to make animal feed. So please understand your life in a new way: vermicelli is starch, not protein.”
Why is glass noodles popular for weight loss?
Dr. San replied, “I think it comes from calculating the calories in food because in the document analyzing the calories in food from the Nutrition Division, Department of Health, it states that if calculated per 100 grams of weight, glass noodles provide only 80 calories, while thin noodles provide 220 calories and large noodles provide 160 calories. Weight loss experts in calorie-counting camps therefore recommend glass noodles instead. But my advice, Rud Maharaj, is that if you want to lose weight, reduce carbohydrates and fat, which means stopping eating all types of ‘noodles’ and glass noodles.”
Therefore, even though glass noodles are carbohydrates or starch that provide less energy than other types of noodles, you still need to control the amount you consume because in any case, glass noodles are still “starch”. You should also focus on eating a variety of foods, exercising regularly, and getting enough rest. This should help you successfully lose weight and have a healthy and strong body for sure.
