    Do you take care of your figure from bakery products? You’re right! There are a lot of prejudices surrounding noodles. But are they all justified?

    We use Italian durum wheat pasta, Asian rice and buckwheat noodles (soba) in our diets. This allows us to diversify our meals and make them tasty and healthy. Here are some facts about the beneficial properties of these types of noodles for people who understand that their diet should be healthy and balanced.

    Buckwheat noodles:

    Rich in vitamins and minerals, buckwheat noodles are among the dietary products that came to us from Japan, the country of longevity. Traditionally, it is made from only two ingredients: buckwheat flour and water.

    Despite being quite high in calories (348 kcal per 100 g of dry product), buckwheat flour noodles perfectly saturate the body and are easily digested. Buckwheat noodles are classified as “complex” carbohydrates, and the product itself helps to improve digestion and normalize metabolism.

    Risova lokshina:

    Rice noodles are also complex carbohydrates that do not affect blood sugar levels. With a calorie content of 364 kcal per 100 g of dry product, it energizes the body without harming the waistline.

    Nutritionists appreciate the absorption properties of rice noodles. It contains 8 amino acids that are important for the creation of new cells. But the protein gluten, which often causes food allergies, is absent. Ideal for maintaining your figure and good mood!

    Italian pasta:

    Dietary pasta is made only from durum wheat – it’s an axiom. With an average calorie content of 300 kcal per 100 g of product, the paste retains all the strengths of cereals. It digests slowly and helps maintain a constant blood glucose level.

    It is advisable to eat pasta with vegetables and light dressings based on spicy herbs, tomatoes, garlic and onions. These ingredients contain many antioxidants that slow down the aging process of cells.

    Famous nutritionist Lina Chianetti believes that enjoying food (taste, physical and aesthetic) is one of the main rules of healthy eating. Food will not be useful if you force yourself to eat something you don’t like. The Spinach team develops the menu in such a way that our dishes are healthy, interesting and healthy. All for the best result!
