Vite Ramen -- High-protein Healthy Instant Ramen?! | BONUS: Emmy's childhood sticker collection

[@ViteRamen]

Whoop! Thank you so much for trying our ramen! We’re just a small company of just over 10 people trying to make the instant ramen of our dreams: something we can eat every day without feeling guilty! It looks like you’re trying our first v1.0 packets; we’ve done some major reworkings of the recipe since then and have come out with a brand new v1.1 recipe! We’d love to send some over so you can try them out and let us know how you like it compared to the v1.0 you’ve just tried :) Also to answer a couple of your questions! The canola oil is there currently as a nutritional consideration to balance the macronutrient content, introduce ALA omega 3 to the overall package and to help increase absorption of the fat soluble vitamins. We’re definitely working on including functional AND tasty oils in future versions though! The packaging is pretty basic right now because, well, we’re just a startup! For us it’s a fine balance between maintaining living wages for our employees, manufacturing in the US and getting to do cute graphic on our packaging; it’s more important for us to make sure we stick to our values first before printing graphics! We’re constantly working on new improvements to our ramen, so we’d love to see what you think! There may be a spicy one coming up in the future, so stay tuned! ;) Oh, and if anyone has any questions about the ramen, we'll be hanging around to answer them! - Tom

[@scottmichaelharris]

MSG is an sodium form of an amino acid from broken down proteins. Yeast extract is broken down yeast cells and on of the main amino acids is MSG. Natural vs not is debatable. MSG can come from many sources. If you think the acid hydrolysis and neutralization with lye, of beer byproduct is natural, good for you. I’ll take the MSG which can naturally crystallizes from kelp over some mystery yeasty concoction.

[@YindiOfficial]

THANK YOU! That was exactly what was going through my mind. People need to stop thinking "chemistry" and "nature" are opposite things. "Chemistry" happens literally everytime we breathe.

[@10feralratsinacoat76]

I want to scream this from the rooftops

[@fullup91]

Mono sodium glutamate occurs naturally in tomatoes. But I'm against adding the powdered MSG to my food.

[@ViteRamen]

♥ this :D We made the decision to add MSG back into our ramen (a new v1.1 version not in the video) after reviewing the available evidence, and even did a write up of it: viteramen.com/blog/2019/8/14/vite-ramen-x-msg MSG is awesome!

[@SilvaDreams]

@@YindiOfficial THe hilarious thing is.. Everything is chemistry. Everything natural is a chemical. My favorite thing to do with "all natural" freaks is to warn them about dihydrogen monoxide or hydroxylic acid and how it is used in SOOO many things and how it kills so many people every year yet NO ONE is reporting on it...

[@Arriss3]

Yeast extracts are the remnants of yeast cells without their cell wall. They contain a ton of free glutamates(an amino acid), when dried MSG. MSG is just the salt, and thus solid stable, form for glutamate. MSG when sold as such is most likely extracted from kelp by boiling it in water and letting it crystalize(a step past making dashi broth) or made by fermenting starch or other sugars. MSG and the free glutamates in food (IE: soy, kelp, tomatoes, cheese) are metabolically indistinguishable, meaning we process them the exact same.

[@veghead05]

Thanks

[@vivianphillips768]

I do the same 😭 thought I was the only one

[@jordanmichelle1591]

I helped fund the kickstarter for these noodles because I loved the concept. The canola oil is just that; plain canola oil, because a lot of the vitamins in the noodtrient packet are fat soluble. When I do make these (I got the same style of noodles you have in this video from the original kickstarter) I end up adding my own chili oil and a dash of extra soy sauce. I so know what you mean about them not having the same texture or bite as regular instant noodles, but personally, I'm willing to make that sacrifice to feel like I'm actually eating something GOOD for me, especially when I'm too depressed to cook "real" food :"D Sometimes you just gotta get some food in your face, and I'd rather reach for these than top ramen.

[@SilvaDreams]

You can essentially just take a multivitamin crush it up, toss it in and get the same effect without the extra price. (Actually it likely is better) And adding stuff to ramen is kind of normal. I add onions, garlic, maybe a bit of meat (Don't need soy sauce it is normally salty enough)... It's not what I would call innovative because all my ramens come with little packs of dehydrated veg and have for 20 years..... Now if we're talking dirt cheap 50cent packs... yeah those are just some flavoring which is mostly salt and that is it.

[@ViteRamen]

@@SilvaDreams Our ramen isn't just about what's in it, but what's been taken out as well! We don't use preservatives, don't deep fry, and lowered the sodium to be in line with the rest of the nutrients! Not only that, but our vitamins and minerals are all bioavailable, and designed to be absorbed easily into the body. Take magnesium oxide, for example, used in most multivitamins. Looks like 25% on the nutrition label, but won't actually absorb into your body! We use magnesium citrate instead, and the rest of our vitamins and minerals get just as much care! We also have as much fiber as 3 cups of broccoli, more protein than a protein shake, ALA-Omega 3s, and even things that aren't required by the FDA yet like choline! -Tim

[@BeeWhistler]

@@ViteRamen I associate ramen with people who don't have the money for anything else. Yours costs as much as a frozen dinner. I think I'd rather just eat real, more affordable food that has all the nutrients the human body needs than ramen that isn't even as good tasting as regular ramen.

[@mynniquinn4599]

I hope you try the new version they came out with that contains MSG! They said they improved the flavor to accommodate for the lack of sodium, and the broth/noodtrient packets were combined. I know they don't taste as sinful as instant ramen but for the amount of protein and nutrients it contains, this is a favorite of mine to keep in the house.

If you eat food and get a stomach ache, there are about a billion things that could have caused it, not just the MSG. Doritos, Cheetos, KFC Chicken, Pringles, Parmesan Cheese, and soy sauce all have MSG in them, yet you don't really see people complaining about that.

[@AimeeColeman]

Yeast extract encompasses a lot of things - lots of strains of yeast can produce many nutrients and flavoring compounds that food manufacturers want, and some yeasts can produce glutamic acid, an essential amino acid that, when bound chemically to a sodium atom, makes mono-sodium glutamate, or MSG. Nearly all savoury foods contain glutamic acid, as it's an essential amino acid that gives food that 'meaty' 'umami' flavour, but it's naturally present in nearly all vegetables in some capacity, and all complete protein sources. MSG was once wrongly blamed for a feeling of unwellness that people had after eating Chinese food, as some questionably racially motivated 'researchers' warned people against eating Chinese food, despite all cuisines utilising the umami flavour of MSG (particularly in italian food which uses a lot of tomatoes). It is more recently concluded that people may feel unwell after eating Chinese food because of the high salt content of take-out meals, and there has been no reliable study concluding that adverse reactions in the amounts used in foods can happen beyond the placebo effect. (This is unsurprising as glutamic acid is an 'essential' amino acid, meaning we need to eat it to survive because we can't make it ourselves, so if someone were unable to eat glutamic acid, which is what MSG will break into when dissolved in water, they would not be able to live very long at all) Sources: www.everydayhealth.com/allergy/does-msg-allergy-really-exist.aspx kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXbcfKB3fdykopY

Whaa.. I blame my parents and news.. Tq for this

[@AyshaCyan]

Thank you for this! We have a bag of MSG sitting on our shelf right now because we use it to get that nice umami flavor in a lot of our soups and other vegan dishes we make, but it has such a bad rep for exactly the reasons you've outlined so I'm glad more people are spreading the truth!

It's truly pathetic that so many people are mind-raped to believe anti-Science bullshit.

[@InsaneNuYawka]

Glutamic acid functions as a neurotransmitter in your brain. It is an excitatory neurotransmitter, meaning that it stimulates nerve cells in order to relay its signal. Some claim it “excites your cells to death “ so yeah, yikes ..

[@Koi-studio]

Glutamic acid is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in your nervous system. You already have tons of it in your body and your body uses it all the time.

[@beth96c]

I wish people would realize that many of the misconceptions around msg comes from racist propaganda. It's very sad that people are still brainwashed by something not based in science whatsoever, just fear.

[@Koi-studio]

I wonder if these same people who complain about MSG complain of headaches and such after eating a bowl of spaghetti or pizza cause tomatoes and cheese contain a good deal glutamic acid. Is pizza “exciting your cells to death?” Lol!

It was so special when you brought out your sticker book to share with us and more importantly with Addy, I really loved that segment haha - also 27 year old lady here who also still has her sticker book :)

Hi! Greek person here. The plural of "octopus" is actually supposed to be "octopodes", but english-speakers just say "octopuses" or "octopi", so technically you could use all three; "octopodes" if you want to stay true to greek grammar and "octopuses"/"octopi" if you want to stay true to english grammar. On the other hand, "Pegasus" was the name of a single individual rather than a species, so technically there is no plural form of that word. You can just say "winged horses" or even "pterippoi" (pte-ree-pee) if you need to refer to many winged horses.

[@mayelaruggles4744]

Fascinating! I'm going to start saying "octopodes"!

[@GiraffeCubed3]

I'm aware of the plural "octopodes", but how would you pronounce it? I've always said "ock-tow-podes", but I believe the pronunciation may be "ock-toh-poh-dees"?

[@cktheone]

@@GiraffeCubed3 Either "ock-toh-poh-dees" or "ock-tah-poh-dees". The "toh" version is closer to the ancient greek pronunciation, while the "tah" version is closer to the modern greek.

I think I'll try these. Being a starving artist, one of my beloved simple pleasures is ramen noodles. Also going to the gym for workouts. So it follows that I like the high protein with these Vite Ramen noodles ... and I can measure out the packets to avoid too high sodium. Thanks Emmy!

[@Shaqattack1]

Ngl Emmy should have her own tv show jeez this is amazing

[@DanielFlores-fo1ee]

No, tv is dead her best bet is to stay on KZbin.

[@alexgade4512]

Not a good idea. If she starts on TV, her youtube channel will die. It'll be replaced with snips from the TV show, ads and promos because she won't be allowed to post TV content online. This is what people wanted for Brave Wilderness and now cry that he never uploads anymore. Careful what you wish for.

[@ferociousgumby]

There are no good cooking/food-related shows on TV any more. It has all gone over to competitions and Master Chef and all that garbage. I miss the old-style Julia Child "process" cooking on TV, where the chef's personality "made" the show, but it's never coming back. But that's why we have KZbin!

[@MsDinesue]

I appreciate watching your honest review and that the Vite Ramen folks are in the comments section and paying attention. I haven't tried them but I'm looking forward to the MSG to be added. I don't know if I'd add the nutrient packet since I already take a multi, but I do like the idea of increased protein, especially since I try to eat mostly vegan.

[@lesiapersimmon7547]

Emmy, where were your scratch and sniff stickers!? 😁

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I had a separate binder just for scratch-and-sniff stickers. Maybe she did, too. I hope she shows it one day if she does! :)

[@tonik-o3949]

Omigosh so nostalgic! I love your sticker collection... I’m in my 40’s and still have my sticker books as well! My favourites were scratch n sniff, fuzzy, Lisa Frank, and Little Twin Stars 🥰

[@saraseaman4657]

Oilies! "Oriental flavor" ramen is my favorite! I have to hide it from my dear daughter.

[@jamiejunkjournals9316]

Emmyyyyy!!! Yessss! I never stopped collecting stickers....i have bins and totes and binders and baskets.... i always have been and always will be OBSESSED with stickers..and dont even get me started on Lisa Frank!

[@jamiejunkjournals9316]

They dont make the oily ones anymore!

[@estherrouillard7122]

I would definitly eat them with say a little tabasco, may be a soft boiled egg... a few shrimps...

[@87mmo]

Compared to most folks on KZbin eating food, Emmy , you seem to have a much more sophisticated pallet . Which is why I tend to watch a lot of your videos and wonder what your response is. As it is believable and I really appreciated that . Great work !

[@jcselynn4946]

Can you do a tutorial on the mushy noodles! My tooth burst and it sound delicious! I also used to eat raw rame-i still do actually!

[@khuxster]

I think she already made one with her brother

[@puppsmcgee74]

Emmy! Oh my gosh! I LOVED unicorns and I loved stickers when I was a kid! I had a sticker album and I loved the scented stickers. I had pizza scented, grape scented and pickle scented stickers! My inner kid is so envious of your stickers! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@MusicLove1117]

OMG ASMR STICKER BOOK emmy you would be a great asmrtist

[@winstonchaychel]

I came for the ramen but I'm so feeling warm and fuzzy inside from Emmy geeking out 💕♥️😭.

[@nanetteo1081]

I now feel the need to ask my mom if she still has my old sticker book....and the start a new sticker book.

[@mrssmiff4155]

As if we needed more evidence of emmys cuteness and purity.... *she pulls out her sticker collection* 😭😭🖤

[@ponduforus]

I had sourced ingredients from Amazon to make my own, but this seems so much easier! Thanks, Emmy! Oilies unite 🤣🤣

[@christyfawcett7495]

Well, now we know. Emmy has ALWAYS been adorable! Love the sticker collection!

[@septixskeptix1107]

If you are sensitive to MSG, then it is purely psychosomatic as your body naturally produces glutamate. True story, the reason people think MSG is bad for you is because some dude in the sixties or seventies wrote an article blaming MSG in Chinese food for making him ill. How the guy was able to single out and blame that one ingredient is beyond me. Myles Powers has an excellent video explaining MSG and it's history of misconceptions here on KZbin. Worth a watch.

[@xXfireflyyXx]

Totally understand! People freak out over stupid things. If I told someone sodium bicarbonate was a food additive and an excellent corrosive chemical and was used in popular cleaning products they would flip their shit... until I told them it was baking soda. Same goes with baking soda being considered a "natural" ingredient in food... where does it come from? Well. Its found in great basins. But we dont filter for that. And its mined out of trona, but that's difficult too because its impure so there is lots of filtering and refining we have to do. So the easiest way to make it is, we shove carbon dioxide and ammonia through table salt to make it. Sounds dangerous right? Those are two very poisonous things mixed with salt.... nah, totally safe baking soda... Science for the win!!!!

[@mikimisteinberg4016]

I've been watching your KZbin channel for a few months now off and on. I love your calming easygoing voice and style of giving over whatever you do and say. Many of your recipes are foods I do not eat because I eat kosher, however I find myself gleaning lots of information from your vlogs. Also, I live alone, 57 years old and due to various side medical issues because of fibromyalgia, I do not enjoy cooking/baking for myself. I am very fortunate that I have neighbors and friends who know about my health and living situation, so these friends actually try to save me from their food if leftover and not enough for them to serve again for another meal for anyone in their home. They either send me the food/or I go to their home to fetch it. Oftentimes the friends will save the food leftovers in a sandwich bag that the amount of food fit in (I really dislike returning containers and prefer plastic bag that I can easily dispose of), and when a plastic grocery sized is full of little baggies, my friends contact me and we arrange a time slot for a pick-up/give to me. Stickers: I think I still have some of my stickers from when I was a girl and teenager growing up in the 70's. Thanks for your vlogs. Blessings, love and prayers, from Israel

[@twocvbloke]

Might be worth getting a salt pot filled with MSG just to add it when it's not included in something that really needs it... :D

[@dylan_1884]

Lmao that sticker book portion was so awesome, MORE EMMY NOSTALGIA PLS!!

[@esitu5655]

Hahaha! Solent Green. I think most of of your younger viewers will not get that movie reference.

[@adammoore7059]

Your butt stinks

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I thought it was funny that someone actually came out with a product recently called Soylent. It’s named that way because it’s made with SOY and LENTils, but I don’t know if I could use it knowing where the name came from. LOL!

[@NutronicAtomic]

Soylent and other "lents" have started this "complete food" movement that seems to be a growing industry. If it wasn't for Soylent, we might not have viteramen.

[@PolythenePutz]

The whole sticker collection, not to mention the aside on the etymology of "Pegasus" and how it'd be pluralized? ICONIC. Love you, Emmy

[@briley672]

Pegasus was the name of _one_ famous Winged Horse not the species/breed.

[@gregmuon]

Yep. It's the name of one particular mythical creature, like King Kong or Chewbacca.

[@ortzinator]

Then what kind of animal is Pegasus?

[@hazelsong401]

Becca Riley you’re kinda right. Pegasus was the only winged horse in Greek Mythology which was where the name originated from. It’s now used as a name for all horses with wings 😊

[@sweetpjeb23]

Brian Ortiz I was wondering that, too. King Kong is a giant ape. Chewbacca is a Wookiee. So what’s Pegasus?

[@gregmuon]

Yeah, now pegasus is commonly used as a generic name for all winged horses, but it's kind of a hack.

[@abouthergrace3086]

What’s special for me is that she took the time to personally connect to an individual viewer.

[@ryanwoolsey6972]

Only old stickers I have left are my garbage pale kids..:) Eat Kentucky Moss

[@lisacaron7224]

Eat Kentucky Moss made me lol, thanks!

[@aimeetakach8571]

I loved the oil stickers so much growing up. And the scratch and sniff ones! I wish I still had my sticker books like you! 😍😍😍
