Most dried noodles sold in supermarkets have high salt content. Merchants will add a certain amount of salt in the process of processing dried noodles. The sodium content of 100g dried noodles is mostly 450-600 mg, and in some dried noodles with the word "Jin Dao", the sodium content is as high as 1200 mg. In this regard, Jun Xu, chief physician of Beijing Center for Disease Control and Prevention and executive director of China Nutrition Society, explained that the main component of salt is sodium chloride.

Several foods with high salt content in life:

1, sweet bread

When making bread, in order to ensure the tough taste of bread, a certain amount of salt is usually added, and then fermentation and other subsequent processes are carried out. So when you munch on doughnuts, cheese pies, biscuits and even the most common white bread, you have salt in your body.

2. Plums

Besides the fruit itself, the main ingredients of this food are salt and sugar. Because the addition of salt can ensure that the fruit will not rot to a certain extent, and at the same time try to keep its original state. However, Yanjin grape and Yanjin plum have higher salt content because they are still wrapped in a "salt coat".

3, monosodium glutamate

A condiment that enhances the taste and umami taste. Although you can't feel its salty taste, the main component of monosodium glutamate is actually sodium glutamate, so excessive intake of monosodium glutamate will also increase the risk of hypertension.

4. Noodles

But dried noodles themselves also contain salt. In order to make the noodles taste better and store them conveniently after drying, merchants will add a certain amount of salt in the process of making noodles. This is why many people will find that even clear soup is salty after cooking dried noodles.
