Curious: How Do Udon Noodles Stack Up Nutritionally?

[Kiriya Ubuyashiki]

I'm diving into the world of udon noodles and wondering: how do they stack up on the nutrition front? Are they a wholesome choice or more of an occasional treat? If anyone has the lowdown on udon's nutritional profile, I'd love to hear it!

Udon noodles are fairly neutral on the nutrition front. They're made from wheat flour, so they’re relatively high in carbs and low in protein and fiber. While not the most nutrient-dense, they can be part of a balanced meal when paired with veggies, lean protein, and a light broth. It’s more of an occasional treat if you’re watching your carb intake!
