As amazing as cup noodles and instant ramen is when it comes to tastiness and convenience, one problem that has always plagued the instant food is its lack of nutritional value — some even claim it to be a less-than-healthy diet option. However, Nissin, one of the food product’s biggest experts and manufacturers, have now solved the problem with its new All-In Noodles line of instant ramen.
According to the brand, each pack of its All-In Noodles contain roughly a third of a person’s daily nutritional intake requirement, boasting 13 different vitamins, 13 minerals, along with high amounts of protein and dietary fiber. Nissin achieved this by creating a densely-packed nutritional core which it then wrapped with a noodle coating so that the instant ramen’s flavor and texture is retained. The Japanese manufacturers also say that the new "design" reduces the total amount of carbohydrates by 40 percent when compared to conventional instant ramen.
The new super nutritious noodle series will come in four options: a plain packet, and three flavored cup noodles. The Abura Ramen is flavored with a spicy rayu oil, chashu pork and green onions. The Tantan option is based on the Szechuan-peppered dish, and the Tom Yum cup noodle is based on the Thai dish featuring lemongrass, coconut milk and cilantro.
Nissin’s All-In Noodles are now available for order, retailing for ¥400 JPY, or roughly $3.70 USD for a plain pack, and ¥600 JPY ($5.70 USD) for the flavored cup noodles. Shipping is currently scheduled to commence on August 19. Those interested can head over to Nissin’s website to learn more, or purchase some to try at home.
