What actually is Maggi?
Maggi is an international brand of instant soups, stocks, bouillon cubes, ketchups, sauces, seasonings and instant noodles. Owned by Nestlé since 1947, the original company was founded in Switzerland in 1872 by Julius Maggi.
Now, In this cases, we are talking about Maggie noodles , a brand of instant noodles manufactured by Nestlé. The brand is popular in Australia, South Africa, Brazil, New Zealand, Brunei, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Fiji and the Philippines. Meanwhile in India and Malaysia, Maggi instant noodles are very popular; Nestle have 39% of the market in Malaysia, where "Maggi" is synonymous with instant noodles; and a 60% share in India where it was the first instant noodle brand. In Malaysia, fried noodles made from maggi noodles are called Maggi goreng
Maggie mee is advertised as 2 minute noodles since 1982.It was said to be 'No MSG', 'Less Salt', and 'No Trans fat' to cater the health conscious. In mid-2008, New Zealand supermarkets introduced replacement formulations for its beef, oriental, and curry flavours. A new feature is an extra sachet containing dehydrated vegetables. Maggi claims the new range contains 88% less total fat and 86% less saturated fat than the average of top-three (unnamed) 2-minute-noodle competitors. The new Maggi range also has considerably lower fat than its own previous formulation. However, the salt content has been increased by 31 percent.
Did you know?
One serving (1 block or 100 grams) of noodles contains 1170 mg. of sodium aka salt, almost half of the USDA 2400 mg maximum.
Most of the salt would be in the seasoning packet, but the noodles probably contain some salt also.
The noodles provide 10% of your daily calcium and 12% of your daily iron requirement. Other than that the Maggi brand noodles have no nutritional benefit.
If you want to eat maggi,
Then here’s a correct way to cook instant noodles without harming our bodies and health:
Normally, we put the instant noodles is to put into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes and then it's ready to eat By doing this every day , we will save a great time and will also might end as a dead person. when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder, normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structure of the MSG, causing it to be toxic. Also the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you have eaten the noodles.
So, To prevent it, you should cook it on the correct way.
First,Boil the noodles in a pot of water. Once the noodles are cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away the water which contains wax. Then boil another pot of water, add the cooked noodles into the hot boiling water and then turn off the stove. Only at this stage when the stove is off, and while the water is very hot, add the flavoring powder into the water, to make noodle soup. However, if you need dry noodles, remove the noodles and add the flavoring powder and toss it to get dry noodles.
A Piece of Note:
Only a some amount of it was washed and removed during cooking. The removed layer of coating solidified after cooled and it did not turn bad after being left overnight.
So even if the coating is not wax, it is true that it will not give us any health benefits. Most probably that is the reason of obesity and weight gaining. No matter how you cook, you will not be able to remove the coating totally.
The best way is eat less, or stop eating instant noodles.
