SOURCE OF FIBRE
noodl heavenly harissa, 80g, £1.75, ocado.com Per 100g: Calories, 101; saturated fat, 0.1g; protein, 5.1g; fibre, 2.6g; sugar, 2.7g; salt, 0.78g CLAIM: ‘High in protein. A good source of fibre. Packed with tasty vegetables.’ EXPERT VERDICT: The thick, shocking pink, beetrootflavoured wheat noodles in this take up to seven minutes to ‘cook’ once boiling water is added.
On the plus side, it has a fairly short, natural ingredients list. There’s also 7g of gut-friendly fibre in a pot — 23 per cent of the recommended daily amount.
The limited filling protein here — just over two eggs’ worth — comes from the wheat, cabbage and beetroot. And with its 78 per cent noodle content and tiny amounts of dried cabbage, sweet potato and onion, this isn’t ‘packed with vegetables’. TASTE: Smells good but tastes bland. 5/10
