Soba Noodles: Soba noodles are made from buckwheat which provides a variety of health benefits. They are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and magnesium which improves blood flow. They are also gluten-free, and you can read about these soba noodles in my Yakisoba post. Quinoa Noodles: These noodles contain all nine essential amino acids. They are gluten-free and they are rich in vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, B vitamins and iron. Rice Noodles: Rice noodles can be used in most Asian dishes making them a great alternative to other noodle varieties that aren’t as healthy. They are gluten-free and contain only 100 calories per serving. Types of Noodles to Avoid If there is one noodle that has gotten a bad rap, it’s the Ramen noodles. Ramen noodles are low in calories but they lack key nutrients. Ramen noodles are made with wheat flour that has been fortified with synthetic forms of nutrients to make them more nutritious but they are lacking in other vitamins and minerals like protein, fiber, vitamins A, C and B12, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. They are also low in antioxidants and phytochemicals.
