Funchosa noodles

Funchosa noodles (fenchosa, funchesa, fenchese or fuchese) refer to popular Asian cuisine products. The second and most famous name for domestic foodies, hostesses and chefs is funchosa noodles - glass or starch noodles. Funchosa noodles are sold dried and ready to eat.

However, rice noodles and glass noodles differ strikingly from each other and not only in appearance, as well as in taste and consumer characteristics.

Composition of funchose noodles

Funchosa noodles include legume starch (mung, potato, yams, cassava or canna). Nowadays, funchose noodles are increasingly made from corn starch. Moreover, the use of cheaper corn starch in the composition of funchose noodles has become the basis for the Chinese authorities in applying sanctions to unscrupulous producers. The thing is that corn starch does not have the same taste or consumer properties as mung bean funchose noodles. Therefore, manufacturers began to bleach the starting material with lead.

As a result, funchosa noodles from low-quality raw materials began to harm the health of consumers. It is noteworthy that poisonous Chinese funchosa noodles were sold not only domestically, but also exported. The last scandal with funchosa noodles occurred in 2010, when the authorities of the Republic of Czech Republic found heavy metal aluminum in the product and banned the sale of Chinese noodles.
