FAQ

Are Egg Noodles Healthy? Egg noodles can give you extra nutrients that regular pasta won't, though they also lack in some areas compared to pasta. Still, you don't have to choose only one. Add both to your pantry for a well-rounded diet and supplement each with vegetables, proteins, and other sources of nutrients.
Fresh-made noodles are made with a mixture of flour, water, and eggs, while dried noodles are made with a mixture of flour, water, and salt. The salt in dried noodles helps to preserve them, but it also adds calories. Additionally, dried noodles are often cooked in oil, which also adds calories.
Raw eggs are also well known to carry Salmonella bacteria, which would give you food poisoning. Cooking fresh pasta or flour kills germs and other bacteria that can give you food poisoning, like Salmonella. Its best to cook your noodles though if you want to avoid the risk of getting sick.
Finally, egg noodles and ramen noodles have a virtually identical taste and texture. It takes a discriminating palate to tell the difference. For all of these reasons, many people just assume that ramen noodles are egg noodles. With all of that being said, you can use egg noodles as a substitute for ramen in a pinch.
However, they are also high in carbs, contain gluten, and could contribute to weight gain if consumed in high amounts. Therefore, while egg noodles can definitely fit into a healthy diet, it's important to watch your portion size and be mindful of which ingredients you pair them with.
