Shirataki Rice, DIET COOKER Konjac Rice 10 Pack Inside, Keto & Vegan Friendly, 9.52 oz, Odor Free, Low Calorie, Zero Net Carbs, Slim Rice Healthy Diet Food

I use shirataki rice as a substitute for rice and/or pasta in many dishes. I have bought this brand numerous times and it is a good product. When buying shirataki rice or pasta, pay attention to the amount in each pouch, because it varies quite a bit. You will see some advertised as 7 oz, but that includes the liquid they are packed in, so you are getting a fairly small portion. These packages are 9.52 oz, which is a nice portion size. It is also worth noting that while they call it rice, they are really round BB sized pearls of shirataki pasta.

Please! Look at my picture then look at the advertising picture (on package and on post). This rice product is nothing near real rice. Not the shape, not the taste, not the texture. I’m Asian, I eat rice almost everyday all of my life. And I am normally not a complainer, I have used this brand before but in noodle form and I don’t mind anything of it. I have used other brand for rice form, never had problem and complain. That brand just all the sudden out of Amazon market. So I gave a try to this product. If you look at my picture, in the bowl is Konjac rice. Color was little altered from soy sauce. Original color was kind of whitish clear. In the spoon (my picture), was real jasmine rice. I put it there to compare between Konjac rice and real rice. Look closely, the shape is absolutely wrong and very disappointed. Konjac rice shaped like a big cube or cut cylinder shape. Texture was like chewing crispy slippery seaweed. No smell because I rinsed very well, however I have to pretty much squeeze water out of them. When you just rinsed and drained (no squeezing), this product holds good amount of water in between them (like there was no drainage out, they were sealed together like glue). The taste were not pleasant, since the texture was off, contained excessive of water, the taste was disgusting. I had forced myself to enjoy it for 3-4 pouches, and none of this time I was enjoyed the meal even with yummy foods. The appearance is very important to me. Sorry I maybe picky but when I see tons of marble-like cube thing in my bowl with food, I was lost half of my appetite. Not recommended this rice product. You can try the noodle tho.

If you are looking for a low carbohydrate alternative to rice this product is for you. Yes, It is not rice, it is a rice alternative. It is a little rubbery but for me as a diabetic real rice is not an option. Instead I use this is a healthy alternative. The fiber in this product replaces the starch found in real rice. Most Konac products smell bad but this one does not. I don't know what the other people are complaining about, this brand has a nice clean odor.

I was a bit skeptical about trying this but decided to give it a try anyway and was surprised at how versatile it turned out. It's not as soft as rice nor does it have the starchiness, instead it has a bit of chewiness sans the stickiness of rice. Works well if making fried rice or with curry/gravy based dishes. Great for keto diets, diabetes and those who want to cut out some carbs.

Versatile!

Has a weird but mild taste. Needs spicy strong sauce.

I would return this but Amazon is refusing to accept returns for this product. The product smells very fishy, has the texture of chewy balls that is not pleasing. This is absolutely nothing close to rice.

Not rice.
