About Glass noodle

Glass noodles, also known as cellophane noodles or mung bean noodles, are a translucent, gluten-free pasta primarily made from mung bean starch or sweet potato starch. Originating in Asian cuisine, they are a staple ingredient across dishes in countries like China, Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. Their slippery texture and ability to absorb flavors make them versatile in soups, stir-fries, and salads. Nutritionally, glass noodles are fat-free and low in protein, making them a good option for those seeking lighter carbohydrate choices; however, they lack significant vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Though they provide quick energy due to their high carbohydrate content, moderation is key as their glycemic index can be high. Often paired with nutrient-rich vegetables and lean protein, glass noodles can be part of a balanced meal while delivering a satisfying texture and taste.
