seaweed noodles

Balls of spun seaweed noodles sold in the grocery section of SM Makati.

seaweed noodles - /se-wed nĂ³-dol/ [n.] a pancit (noodles) made with flour and seaweed. 

This thick rounded noodle is rich in calcium, magnesium, and iodine. Uncooked seaweed noodles are dry, and stiff and would crumble under pressure. 

It can be cooked into pancit canton, bam-i, guisadong pancit, pancit luglug, spaghetti or carbonara

This noodle has been manufactured and popularized by the Bicolano seaweed pancit makers in Tiwi, Albay in 2008.

The varied color is the result of adding some ground vegetables as additional ingredients in the production. Added vegetable means added nutrients and vitamins.


Varieties of seaweed noodles include malunggay (moringa), beets, carrots, and kalabasa (squash)
