MAGGI has rolled out its brand new range of instant noodles, Maggi Nutri-licious, for discerning consumers who seek healthier choices in food consumption.
The noodles are certified with the Healthier Choice Logo (HCL) , a voluntary front-of-pack labelling initiative by the Ministry of Health for healthier food choices.
Maggi Nutri-licious comes in two Italian-inspired flavours, Aglio Olio and Tomato Delight, both made with whole grain wheat flour sourced from Australia.
Utilising air-dried technology, the noodle cake is baked to reduce fat content as well as to make the noodles springier in texture. Besides whole grains, it is also a source of protein, fibre and vitamin B6, providing a healthier option for the entire family.
"For Malaysians, our staple food comprises mainly rice and noodles. Mindful of the evolving health trends and the rise of health-conscious consumers, we are enhancing one of Malaysia's favourite instant noodles by offering consumers a healthier range of instant noodles packed with essential nutrients such as protein and fibre," says Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad, chief executive officer, Juan Aranols.
Consumers who are seeking an easy-to-prepare, tasty and affordable meal now have a healthier option at their fingertips – and as always, are encouraged to add their favourite vegetables and proteins such as seafood, meat or egg to achieve a balanced and more nutritious meal, adds Aranols.
Consultant dietitian Indra Balaratnam says it is recommended to include whole grains into one's diet.
Whole grains are nutritious as well as rich in dietary fibre, vitamins and minerals which offer various health benefits.
"Whole grain foods are associated with a lower risk of heart diseases, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers, and support digestive functions and weight management," she says.
She also emphasises that it is important to analyse the ingredients and nutritional value of the food we consume.
Having a balanced meal is of utmost importance – everyone is encouraged to emulate the concept of "Suku Suku Separuh" or the "Quarter Quarter Half" Malaysian Healthy Plate concept initiated by the Ministry of Health.
The Malaysian Healthy Plate, is a quick visual technique to help plan a balanced meal by dividing food portions in the following manner:
*One quarter of the plate is filled with carbohydrate sources such as rice, noodles or bread.
*One quarter of the plate for protein sources like fish, poultry, meat or egg.
*Half of the plate is for fruits and vegetables.
