Kids of every part of the world love noodles, thanks to the aggressive marketing by these processed food manufacturers. I recently came across a post someone shared on Facebook which stated that noodles are very harmful as they contain wax and some other elements to give it a sticky texture.
A quick Google search proved that it’s all rumor and there is no ingredient that is even related to wax. Even then I think they are not the best food to give to your kids.
Try this homemade noodles instead, you have the total control over the ingredients and healthiness of it as you are going to prepare it on your own.
Try this Homemade noodle and I can assure you, your kid is going to live it exactly the way they love noodles available in the market. This is way healthier than that.
