Nutritional values

Noodles are known to make you happy - and they are also pleasantly filling, but not fat. In this combination they also provide a good mix of carbohydrates, protein and B vitamins.

Would you like a little more fiber and iodine? Then replace the pasta with whole wheat noodles and use Arctic crabs instead of crab meat.
