Oldest noodles unearthed in China
The remains of the world's oldest
noodles have been unearthed in China.
The 50cm-long, yellow strands were
found in a pot that had probably been
buried during a catastrophic flood.
Radiocarbon dating of the material
taken from the Lajia archaeological
site on the Yellow River indicates the
food was about 4,000 years old.
Scientists tell the journal Nature that
the noodles were made using grains from
millet grass - unlike modern noodles,
which are made with wheat flour.
