Bean spaghetti in Aldi

[Mark Parrott]

Found some bean spaghetti in Aldi yesterday. They do 3 types. Soy bean, Edamame bean & black bean. All very low carbs at 6.7g per 50g serving (6,2g for Edamame). £1.99 a packet. Bought the soy & Edamame ones. The black bean one is black in colour & doesn't look appetising. Will try them tonight.

Please let us know how great/disgusting/palatable they are 🙂

Sounds like great news!! Can't wait to hear what they are like

I found these in Waitrose the other day, new item at 25% off regular price. They were ok, and tasted better in a stir-fry rather than microwaved. I find the texture a bit chewy though, but it would be interesting to compare with Mark's Aldi spaghetti (we don't have an Aldi). Carbs are 6.2 per 100 grams (ingredients given on packet as: cooked edamame noodles (98%) (soya flour, water), rapeseed oil.)

Sounds interesting, was in Aldi yesterday but didn’t notice it. Was it with regular pasta or somewhere else? I will nip in later, my Aldi is a two minute drive away, I use it like a corner shop!

Re: The black bean one is black in colour & doesn't look appetising. You could pretend it was pasta with added squid ink and that you were in Italy 🙂

It was in a random place, not with the other pastas.

The results are in. Made a carbonara with mixed soy bean & Edamane bean spag. It did tend to clump together a bit, but overall rather pleasant. Texture was good. They are more like noodles than spaghetti, so may also work well in a stir fry.

I have just made a special trip to Aldi and bought one of each flavour. Aren't they small!!!
Do you really find that one box is enough for 2 people?

 

[Mark Parrott]

I used half a box for 2 people. That is plenty for me. Was very filling.

Would loved to have given these a go but will have to wait as I don't have time to nip to Aldi when I'm in the other town tomorrow as I have to get home then get to another appointment, ARGH!! LOL xx

Will try another store later this week.

Bought some more Moser Roth instead lol
Orange and Almond 13g carbs per bar and Caramel at 14g per bar
Also some Sour Cherry and Chilli 15g
I am sticking at a max of 15g per bar.

Haven't tried anything but the Edamame ones, we really like them, most tasty....

We get ours from Costco

Great stuff! I thought konjac noodles/pasta were like dry elastic band texture and went in the bin. Pleased there is an alternative. Thanks for sharing

 

[Mark Parrott]

I didn't like konjac at all.

This is back in Aldi now. Same types, same price. It's in the specials bit in the middle (at least in our shop anyway).
