Just seen some rice and noodles in the supermarket called Barenaked rice . It claims to be 0.1g carbs per 100g. They are made from Konjac Flour and Soyabean Flour. Anyone else seen these or know anything about them? They also do noodles.
 
I had a similar product but only tried the noodles. They were too thick and chewy a texture for my taste I'm afraid, I'd rather just have a small portion of the real stuff! Really off putting smell to them too. These might be different of course. Others may have had this brand and give different opinion.
 
I have not seen or tried, but they were selling a sliming aid on QVC( a shopping channel) a few years ago and one of the ingredients was Konjac. They were advising to drink at least a glass of fluid with each dose as it swelled up inside the stomach. Never tried it sounded vile to me, it was pushed by Christine Hamilton the MPs wife.
 
I just googled Konjac because I'd never heard of it, and discovered it's the same as Glucomannan. Now that rings a bell that there's been some discussion of it on here, and I seem to remember reading that it could cause intestinal or oesophagal blockages if not taken with sufficient water. ( Though I think someone responded that they used it and had been fine) Having read so far, I crossed it off my list of things to eat.
 
I tried the rice but really didn't like the texture.
 
I tried the noodles and didn't like them. To be honest I don't miss pasta and would rather have some veg under the sauce than some weird pasta substitute.
 
I tried the noodles. Threw them away. Didn't like the texture and they were tasteless, even with some home made bolognese sauce.
 
I wasn't keen either, made a stir fry and used share courgettes instead of noodles and really enjoyed it.
 
I use courgetti instead of pasta or noodle and strips of cabbage works well as tagiatelle.
