desperate for a taste of shirataki!

I have tried them and they are really good. I used a recipe from HungryGirl.com and made soup. They have an odd smell that goes away, don't be afraid! I found them at a small grocery store by me.

I tried shirataki several times a couple of years ago and, while I could get rid of the smell fairly easily, the texture was too mushy and I finally threw in the towel.
Then I found Fiber Gourmet and my life was changed forever!
Reg pasta 2oz. : 210cal 2g fiber
FG pasta 2oz : 130cal 18g fiber

They have many shapes, and even several flavors in the fettuccine shape like tomato, spinach, mushroom, lemon pepper, red and black pepper.... list goes on.

AND, they taste and feel like real pasta.
But they over-cook within a 30 second period and get a bit mushy, so baby the pot and all is well.
Oh, and a 2oz serving is really cheap compared to shirataki.

This has peaked my interest! I think I am going to give it a try. Have you tried the crackers?

The only ones they had in stock were the 'cheese-it' type. I love them, so does my teenage daughter. She takes them to school every day for an afternoon snack.

They just brought up a new production plant and have the other flavors back in stock.
And how could I forget their version of Kraft mac n cheese? Awesome! That's always been one of my guilty pleasures. Now it's not so guilty!

When I mentioned how inexpensive a serving is, I'm including shipping cost in there, since I don't think they currently sell anywhere but their website.

So worth checking out. ( I sound like I own stock or something...)

My publix has them.

Haha, you sound like me when I find something I really like. I may just order a bunch of stuff to get free shipping. We order the organic turkey sticks by the case since they keep for a year to save 50 bucks. These products have a shelf life of 2 years so its not like they would go to waste.

Thanks so much for the tip.

I did NOT like them. Bought 2 bags of it once and had to throw the 2nd one out. Was gross to me. Found them in my local grocery store in their refrigerator tofu section which was near the veggies and other produce.

Kroger and Harris Teeter carry them.
