Better Than Pasta Organic Shirataki Spaghetti – USDA Organic, Zero Net Carbs, Keto & Diabetic Friendly, Gluten-Free, Low-Calorie, Plant-Based, Non-GMO, No Odor, Ready-to-Eat Konjac Noodles – 14oz (Pack of 6)

The texture of this rice is a bit unusual—more jelly-like than regular rice. It took some getting used to, but once I mixed it with my stir-fried veggies, it tasted great. If you're looking to cut back on carbs and don’t mind the texture, it’s a great alternative.

This is my first review. All of my other hundreds of Amazon purchases, even those with faulty design and the products that fell apart shortly after purchasing, were not enough to prompt me to write a review. However, I could not keep silent about these noodles. 24 hours ago I was filled with excitement at finding a noodle replacement that didn't involve spiralizing vegetables. As many have noted the package has a terrible smell when you first open it. This was quickly alleviated by running the noodles under water. We prepared the noodles and added a mushroom sauce. As we ate we gushed about how excited we were to find these noodles and discussed plans to try to the rice version to get a break from cauliflower rice. All was well.Until 6:00 this morning when I woke up with stomach cramps and severe nausea. I made it to the restroom and had a few moments where I thought I would see the once glorified noodles again. The initial severe nausea has passed and now I have intermittent nausea and a headache and my husband has similar symptoms. I'm super thirsty but can't drink much because it makes me feel sick. My husband and I have one bathroom in our apartment, so we're strategically trying to plan in case some of the other side effects (DIARRHEA) start to happen to both of us. We still need to flip a coin to see who will get the trashcan. I would recommend looking at possible side effects and warnings before consuming these miracle noodles. We may have eaten too much for our first time trying them, so that could be the cause of the reaction, however, we're not going to eat any of the other packets to find out if we'd have better results with a smaller amount. I started Googling these noodles and found some other similar reviews that I somehow missed when I was ordering these, so at the very least do some research before purchasing, and if you do decide to try them good luck and have some trashcans ready if your people to toilet ratio is unbalanced in your household. As for us we're going to stick with zoodles and cauliflower rice in the future.

This is perfect - no carb rice substitute that’s easy to use and works in everything from rice dishes to pudding. It has no aftertaste. I made a risotto, couldn’t tell the difference—great for me as a diabetic.

Yes, it's expensive, and yes it smells bad when you first open the package, and yes it's a lot like chewing rubber bands. On the other hand, if your a diabetic, or pre-diabetic, which I am, then this is the best alternative to pasta noodles that I've found so far. It's also great for those with gluten allergies. Bottom line gluten free, low calorie, sugar free, and most importantly low carb. A similar serving of my whole grain pasta has 40 grams of carbs vs. 4 grams of carbs for Better Than Noodles. The package came on time, and the packaging itself is excellent. The product is sealed in a plastic bag that comes inside the outer bag which is very sturdy. Expiration date is 1 1/2 to 2 years from purchase date. They smell when you open the inner bag yes, but rinse them really well in cold water before cooking and that smell disappears. I added mine to pasta sauce after boiling for 5 or 6 minutes. I suggest going heavy on the pasta sauce because it's not entirely pleasant eating this product, it's a lot like chewing rubber bands. I ate the entire serving right after cooking it because you don't want to put the leftover noodles in the frig and reheat them later, trust me. Bottom line, gluten free, and only about 10% of the carbs that regular pasta noodles have.

It’s exactly as described—also tasteless. It says it picks up flavor from whatever you add it to, so basically it’s a filler. I was trying to find a low carb sub for rice. This is not it.

UPDATED: I now know why it was so bad. It looks like some of the product wasn't completely processed. The bag I initially opened (first photo) looked and tasted like rubber bands. The second bag (second photo) was exactly like I hoped for, it tasted and felt like regular Konnyaku noodles. It was very good! The third photo is the manufacturer codes so they know which batch was affected.It seemed like someone in the processing plant forgot to "cook" half of them and just bagged the raw product. 3 bags in my order were like this, so ½ of my order was inedible. It's still a horrible deal since the manufacturer won't let me return the inedible product to get a replacement, so I am keeping my 1 star review. If they reach out to me to give me a replacement, I will change my review.+++++I had such high hopes for this product. I have tried other brands and liked them but this, by far is the worst out of them all. I followed the directions on the package, rinsed them and boiled them for the recommended 5 minutes. Then I tried the noodles... it's like chewing a rubber bands... I couldn't even break it down by chewing them. THEY GOT STUCK IN MY TEETH! I thought maybe boiling it longer would help. NOPE! This time it was harder to chew, if that is even possible.What really stinks is I cannot return it so I wasted the $28 on garbage!Do yourself a favor and don't buy this product!
