Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Thanks, . The only info I came up with after googling were recipes. I'm not familiar with Mung Beans, but I think they're " OK " for SBD. The starch, I'm not so sure about. I wonder what is the source of the 'starch'? It just seems that glass noodles or cellophane noodles would be ok to use considering they're made from Mung beans. The starch though, is the clincher to keep me away from them. What are your thoughts about using them, , or any one else? Thanks! Donna > > > Does anyone know the ingredients for glass noodles used in > > Asian cooking?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Donna - did a search - found this site: http://www.pavan.com/Poriental.asp Basically the noodles are made with a starch unless they are made with mung beans. You have to read the ingredients. The article did mention some being made with sweet potatoes or whole wheat. I have seen them in the store, just never knew what to do with them.

Mung beans are allowed on the diet so I've no doubt there is a FORM of the noodles that would be ok, but with the heavy processing that goes into foods these days....
