Air-Fried Legume Noodles

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

WhatIF Foods' BamNut Noodles Make the Most of a Regenerative Crop

— September 15, 2022 — Lifestyle
Singapore-based start-up WhatIF Foods makes BamNut Noodles with Sweet Hot Seasoning that are packed with protein, air-fried and low in fat compared to leading instant noodle products. These noodles make the most of the regenerative crop Bambara groundnut, along with wheat flour and pea protein as key ingredients. Increasingly, brands are turning to regenerative crops to create climate-friendly products with ingredients that help to reimagine farming in line with natural systems.

WhatIF Foods' noodles are all made possible thanks to a patented air-frying technology that "disrupts the 60-year old deep-frying process used in almost 100 billion servings of instant noodles annually." The brand also offers better-for-you instant noodles in varieties such as Moringa and Pumpkin.

These noodles stand out against others that are deep-fried, low in nutritional value, packed with MSG and artificial flavors.
