Better Than Pasta Konnyaku Pasta Organic, 14 oz

Tasted like fishy undercooked squid. No matter how I tried to cook it or how long it rinsed for.

yuck

I have tried many different kinds of konjac noodles, they all smell like dead fish when you open the package. Fortunately, that's something you can fix by rinsing it under cold tap water for a minute or two. Most of these Konjac noodles have the same rubbery texture and they don't pick up any flavors from the food they're cooked in with. The one thing that sets this Better than Pasta noodles apart from the rest is a second ingredients - oat fiber that improves the texture somewhat, not by much though.In a perfect world, these 10-calories-per-serving indigestible noodles would have tasted just like pasta, if not better. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world so let's be realistic about our expectations.For those who have sensitive stomach or digestive issues, try cooking the noodles for longer time than suggested, cutting the noodles in small pieces or chew the noodles very well before swallowing. Also, don't eat the whole package in one sitting especially if you have never tried anything like this before. I know it's only 30 calories for the whole package but there's enough fibers to feed two adults. If you eat too much or swallow too large pieces of them, you may have to deal with some discomfort the next day.Taste and texture, these noodles are up to par but they're a bit more expensive than what I normally buy. I think a 3-star rating is pretty fair.

Alert: smells like bad fish, when opened. Not like / better than pasta, but a much healthier alternative.My use : Konjac is Japanese Konnyaku plant (glucomannan). I eat pasta+ rice everyday ( 3 X / day), this helps balance total carb intake. Oat fiber ( unlike oat bran) lacks any carbohydrates. It's the indigestible part of the oat after all of the starches are processed out.Taste: Chewy, slimy, stinks when opened. Like tofu, no own flavour, soaks in taste of sauce, broth, spices added.Does not change shape / expand.Tips-Rinse gently 2-3 times, before use ( hold your breath if you must).To heat, dry fry, stir fry, microwave, boil al dente for less rubbery.- Lot of soluble fiber, best to start out with smaller portions until your body gets used to it. Otherwise, it might cause an over-full feeling or bloating. Drinks lots of water.-To Best bought for texture, and nutrition, not for taste or saving $$ , or as substitute for pasta.I benefit from others' reviews, and much enjoy writing mine. Hope this helps a little :-)

Im not gonna lie. The smell when i opened the bag was intense. Even after intense rinsing they still smelled kinda funny. I really wanted pasta and the sauce was already made so i was committed.I tossed the 'noodles' in a pan with some coconut oil and a few ladles of my sauce. Cooking them in the sauce for a few minutes completely killed the odour and they were fantastic AF! Monthlong pasta craving over!The price is a bit steep but this is the closest thing I've found to a real pasta and im not allergic 😁 so I'll definitely buy this again.

So yes, you are probably on a low carb diet, most reviews on here are probably from people who haven’t been doing low carb for awhile and find it disgusting as it’s not carbs and sugar.. I’ve been on keto for a year and this is a game changer, living this life style my tastes buds have change I’m sure if I started keto off like most of negative reviews of this product are it would taste horrible and especially you were hoping for a noodle taste and feel. It’s a great noodle feel not the same chew but great texture takes on the flavour of the food you cook it in. Best part of these noodles is they cook within minutes, make a sauce dump the noodles in and boom instant side and a change from salads for the low carb lifestyle people. A new lifestyle means trying new things if you are one who doesn’t like trying things you will find keto boring and fail

I have used this product before and it was fine. This last package was like eating string and I had a dinner guest. I was not happy.Just realized the package froze in transit which caused the product to be completely transformed. It is actually a good product. I think they should add a disclaimer indicating it should not be frozen. So I will order again but not till the danger of freezing is past.
