Has anyone ever tried these noodles made from the konjac root flour ? Per Web MD they are 3% fiber and 97% water, low in calories and slows the rate at which the body absorbs carbs and helps to avoid blood sugar spikes. These noodles are good for Keto diets as a replacement for high carb foods so they help with weight management.  I buy the bags, rinse them well to remove the smell then cook them for a couple of minutes in the microwave or boil them for a couple of minutes, chop them up and add them to my veggie stir fry with olive oil.

I purchased them once. I thought the smell was horrible. I remember cooking them, tasting the dish and threw the whole thing out. Never again.

 I tried them once and thought they were only "okay" but have seen so many raves about them over the years that I think I might not have prepared them correctly .... or maybe they were just okay.

They are OK.  I eat mostly fresh produce and whole foods, so my taste buds are not used to processed food.  I ate them once and have not repurchased.  But if you like these noodles, enjoy!

I like the rice form as well as the pasta.  They can be a little chewy when you get the larger size pasta.  They really have no taste and pick up the taste of the dish.

I haven't had them since early in my keto journey. Maybe I'll try them again.  My pasta alternatives are zoodles, hearts of palm linguini, and spaghetti squash.

Where did you purchase them?  I believe Whole Foods carries them, but I don't think I've seen them anywhere else.

My husband ate them for quite a while and he lost over 100 lbs . He got his on the internet . He rinsed them off a lot and heated them in a small pan of water . I didn't like them at all , very fishy tasting . They are a bit expensive for the little package.

The key is to put them in a strainer and rinse well. Then we put them in a pan on the stove and heat which dries the water off. 

We particularly like them with a sauce I make with sautéed peppers and onions and anchovies and whatnot. Feels like a healthy meal and tastes quite good. But the noodles are expensive for the amount you get. I get the angel hair version. We like the smaller size.

I grew up eating those noodles. They're a Japanese staple. My mom would make stir-fry with them mostly and also noodle soups, like ramen.
