Most traditional noodles are not gluten-free as they are typically made from wheat flour, which contains gluten. However, there are gluten-free noodle alternatives available, made from ingredients like rice, corn, quinoa, or legumes, which can be safely consumed by people avoiding gluten.
Low in calories: Many types of noodles are relatively low in calories, making them suitable for weight management.
Complex carbohydrates: Whole grain noodles provide complex carbohydrates, which offer sustained energy.
Fiber content: Whole grain and vegetable-based noodles can be a good source of dietary fiber, aiding digestion.
Versatility: Noodles can be paired with various healthy ingredients like vegetables and lean proteins.
B vitamins: Some noodles, especially enriched varieties, contain B vitamins essential for metabolism.
Protein source: Certain noodles, like those made from beans or legumes, can be a good source of plant-based protein.
Gluten-free options: For those with gluten sensitivities, there are many gluten-free noodle alternatives available.
Mineral content: Some noodles contain minerals like iron, magnesium, and selenium.
Low in fat: Many noodle varieties are naturally low in fat.
Quick and convenient: Their ease of preparation can encourage home cooking, which is often healthier than eating out.Remember, the healthfulness of noodles largely depends on their ingredients, preparation method, and portion size.

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.
Relief from Gluten Sensitivity
In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.
This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by Royal DSM and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues ( 1) . Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity ( 2) ( 3 ) .
On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.
What is Gluten?
Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet (1).
How Tolerase® G Works
It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).
Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).
