Egg noodles
According to the University of Sydney, boiled egg noodles for 20 minutes have a glycemic index of 57. This type of noodle has a low glycemic index because the egg is rich in protein, which basically does not raise blood sugar levels. However, when buying pre-made egg noodles, check the ingredient list and choose the type with a high egg content.
Udon noodles
The glycemic index of cooked udon noodles is only 57. Its ingredients include wheat flour, gluten, salt and thickeners. After udon noodles enter the stomach, the digestion speed will slow down, and blood sugar levels will naturally rise slowly.
Because blood sugar rises slowly, it is less likely to be converted into fat and stored, so udon noodles are very suitable for weight loss.
Rice noodles
Because the aging process of starch occurs during the production of rice noodles and old starch is not easily digested, the glycemic index of rice noodles is not very high.
The glycemic index of cooked dry rice noodles is 61, which is good for controlling blood sugar levels. Therefore, people with high blood sugar can use this type of noodles in their diet.
