As a convenient food, instant noodles have been completely understood by netizens who know how to eat them.

Just search and you will find all kinds of magical ways to eat instant noodles: Sprite noodles, cheese and milk noodles, instant noodle burgers, instant noodle salads...

However, when you are enjoying the food, have you ever wondered: Why is this instant noodle made into a curve? Is it also to keep up with the fashion and deliberately give it a fashionable hairstyle? Let's reveal the truth!

It turns out that there are so many benefits to making instant noodles into curved shapes.

First, it saves space. If the noodles are curved, more noodles can be packed into a smaller package.

Second, it saves time. Instant noodles are made into a curved shape, so there are many gaps in the middle of the noodles. This way, when soaking or boiling, the noodles can be fully exposed to water and it will be ready in three to five minutes. It is that fast.

Third, it is not easy to break. In order to maintain the taste and store conveniently, instant noodles are fried during processing. The curved noodles can disperse the pressure during transportation, and some small collisions will not break them at all, thus ensuring their integrity.
