Is instant noodles easy to digest?

Some time ago, there was a popular saying on the Internet that instant noodles are junk food, because a packet of instant noodles cannot be completely digested even after a month. This news also caused panic among many people and even had a huge impact on the instant noodle industry. Instant noodles are very convenient, inexpensive and popular among young people. But is it really difficult to digest instant noodles?

Instant noodles can be digested within 5 hours. Many people have a misunderstanding that instant noodles are indigestible: instant noodles are nutritionally incomplete, lacking protein, vitamins and mineral elements, and are high in oil and salt, which is not good for health. Food with additives is not good food.

In fact, experts point out that from the perspective of cost-effectiveness of food, a high-quality instant noodle product is significantly higher than similar fast foods such as hamburgers and frozen dumplings; from the perspective of nutritional balance of food, instant noodles are also better than traditional staple foods such as steamed buns and rice; from the perspective of food safety, instant noodles with brand reputation are also safer than various stall meals or take-out lunch boxes.
