I knew they r zero calories...are they tasty? Especially the rice...does it really taste like rice?

    I've never had the rice, but the noodles are pretty good. They're still not pasta lol, but it was a nice substition so I could eat (basically) the same meal as my kids. They don't taste like much, and they're not as dense as pasta. Most of the time, I just go with zoodles though, because of the cost.

    I've had the noodles. Once. Never again. Some people love them - I did not.

    Depending on the noodles that you buy, they can have a very strong odour when first opened. But, if you wash them well then boil them for 5 minutes before using them in your dish, they take on the flavour of that dish. I am not sure about the rice.

    They are great lo-carb option. They taste great when you mix them with good sauces. I also like zucchini from a spiralizer... Maybe a bit more

    I'm not a huge fan of the noodles, but I found that the rice actually has about the same consistency as Israeli (pearled) couscous, which I loooove. It doesn't have much taste though.

    Recently I pan fried them. Then I cooked some garlic, mushrooms, and bell peppers with ghee in a different pan.
    Then I added a little cream cheese. Lastly I added everything together with a little water and spaghetti sauce. My fussy hubby loved the soup.
