About Bean thread

Bean thread, also known as glass noodles, vermicelli, or cellophane noodles, is a versatile ingredient made from mung bean starch. Originating in East and Southeast Asian cuisines, these translucent noodles are a key component in soups, stir-fries, spring rolls, and salads. Low in calories and fat-free, bean thread is naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those with gluten sensitivities. While it provides energy through its carbohydrate content, it is not a significant source of protein, vitamins, or minerals. Bean thread is prized for its ability to absorb flavors and maintain a chewy texture when cooked. Though generally a healthy choice, it’s often paired with rich sauces or fried in oil, which can increase its calorie count. For a more nutritious meal, combine bean thread with lean proteins and plenty of vegetables.
