Hethstia Shirataki Konjac- Fettuccine, Spaghetti, Rice Variety Pack (9)

On a keto diet I eat shirataki as a pasta substitute. This brand is by far the best because it has no smell and doesn’t need to be refrigerated until opened. For first timers—all shirataki has a bit of a rubbery chew but for me the difference in carbs and calories is worth it. A cup of real pasta is 48 carbs. A package of these shirataki Is 0 carbs.

I like to use shirataki noodles when I need a low-carb, low-cal pasta substitute for a stir fry dish. These have a chewy texture and neutral flavor. These are as good as other brands I've used in the past.

First off... when prepared correctly, shirataki noodles are great! But, you DO have to prepare them correctly. Just rinsing them like it says on the packaging isn't sufficient. They take on the consistency of snot when you try to add them to a stir fry or soup. The best method I've found is to drain, rinse in cold water, then boil them for about three minutes, drain, and cook in a dry pan on medium-high heat for 7 to 8 minutes before adding them to whatever dish you're making. This keeps them firm and a little chewy, more like traditional pasta. Also... if you've never eaten them, before, start with small portions. I made the mistake of eating an entire packet (2 servings) in one sitting as soon as I got them and ended up with a terrible stomachache a few hours later. Apparently this is a common issue with shirataki noodles because they're basically just fiber and water, and the advice generally offered is to not eat too much at once.

I heard a lot of reviews for many konjac noodles where people were complaining about a fishy smell. My assumption was that those people were either too dumb to wash the noodles. However, with these noodles, they're stored in citric acid, not lime, so I don't think there was ever a chance for them to smell fishy in the first place. Overall, they were exactly what I expected, somewhat flavorless conveyors of sauce. I will likely be purchasing the noodle variants again.

The noodles are fine, no problem there. What annoys me is the stated cost per ounce. The packages are 7.055 net drained weight each. That works out to $.36/ounce NOT the claimed $.27. That is a 25% higher cost than what is advertised.

I've bought this same brand in the past and they were OK. This time the fettuccine noodles were terrible they were broken up and looked like just a paste. I haven't opened the others yet and I hope they're not the same.

I was extremely skeptical at first when I saw these online but I had to try them. I personally can't tell the difference between these and real ramen noodles. You can spice them up a bit with a tasty sauce and you are good to go with low calories. I use these all the time as replacement noodles when I make ramen. This was a great find!

some of the bags are less than half filled.The noodles are very hard.Not very good
