Description

Cholesterol-free egg noodles are a healthy alternative to traditional egg noodles, designed for those seeking to reduce cholesterol intake without sacrificing flavor or texture in their culinary preparations. These noodles are produced using egg alternatives, such as plant-based proteins or egg substitutes, making them suitable for low-cholesterol diets and for people with cardiovascular conditions or those who simply desire a lighter diet.

Their origin is linked to innovation in the food industry to create products that maintain the characteristics of conventional egg noodles but with an improved nutritional profile. They are especially popular in Latin American countries and in regions where home cooking traditionally uses noodles as a base for soups, stews, and stir-fried dishes.

Properties:

  • Low cholesterol content, ideal for healthy diets.
  • Generally enriched with plant-based proteins.
  • Texture and flavor similar to traditional egg noodles.
  • A source of carbohydrates that provide energy.
  • Versatile for multiple types of recipes, from soups to stir-fried dishes.

In different Hispanic American countries, this ingredient may also be known as cholesterol-free tagliatelle, cholesterol-free egg pasta, or simply egg-free noodles, always referring to its main characteristic of being low or free in cholesterol. Its use in the kitchen is ideal for preparing traditional dishes with a healthier touch.
