What it is

Enriched vermicelli are thin, noodle-like strands made from durum wheat semolina. They are a type of pasta that is often enriched with vitamins and minerals, such as iron and B vitamins, during processing. This enrichment helps to replace nutrients that may be lost during the refining of the flour.

Why it's used

Enriched vermicelli are frequently used as a base or thickening agent in soups, stews, and rice dishes. Manufacturers add them to provide texture and substance to prepared meals. They are commonly found in packaged rice mixes and side dishes.

Health notes

Enriched vermicelli are a source of carbohydrates and are often fortified with iron and B vitamins. The FDA considers enriched pasta products to be safe for consumption. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated pasta and its ingredients. At typical consumption levels, they are not associated with adverse health effects.
