YUHO Shirataki Konjac Keto Rice: Gluten Free Plant Based Low Carbs Vegan Fat Free Noodle Rice - 8 Pack Inside 53.61 OZ

I love rice, but I'm on a no white rice diet, lol, so this is a great substitute for rice. Even though it doesn't taste like rice, I love it.

These packs are just the right size and very convenient. While it doesn't really taste or have the texture for rice, I love this in my soups or Japanese okayu. I also use it with Japanese toppings, like umeboshi, furikake, which I eat with a spoon as eating with chopsticks is tough with this texture. You can stir fry this (especially adding egg). It's so low in calories and carbs its' a great alternative. The 5 star is not because it tastes just like rice - because it fully satisfies what I am looking for.

I decided to try this out as a rice substitute. So, keep in mind that that's where this review's perspective is starting from. The best way I can describe these is that rice pilaf and couscous had a child together and it decided to have an ever so slightly rubbery consistency. Not bad, just doesn't have that starchy resistance mouth feel you're used to with, say, normal rice. It's got a bit of a funky smell to it until you rinse it off and cook it. It doesn't absorb like rice does either (e.g. butter, soy sauce, etc.). All that said, it's not a terrible substitute to use if you're diabetic or carb cutting or whatever. Worth a try at least.

If you are a carnivore and you are looking for a rice substitute- especially if you are a rice lover, not the Uncle Ben's type instant rice, then you may want to save your bread, and keep looking for other options. The APPEARANCE will fool you- this stuff looks like rice... but that is where the deception ends. It has the texture of... well if you were to take a lychee fruit and cut it into rice shaped beads that would about nail it. It's sort of that same rubbery texture. The rice stinks- not simply a disagreeable odor, but one you will drop everything to get rid of. Because it does not absorb any more water once fully rinsed and cooked as suggested in the directions, it breaks away from anything you pour over it and looks terribly unappetizing. The mouthfeel left me searching for the garbage disposal. In an article on livestrong.com: The side effects of Konjac fruit, the article states: "While konjac is healthy, its soluble fiber has water-absorbing qualities, which means it can cause gastrointestinal side effects." As a lifelong rice eater, I cannot recommend this. I would not consider pouring curry stew or chili over it and could not get through it with even a little soy sauce (Shoyu). I took a chance, but can tell you it's much too expensive to make the same mistake. YMMV, but probably not by much.

It’s a good product and it’s a good substitute for carbs but has only 2 grams of carbs instead 50 or 60 . Of course it’s blend but I cooked with garlic, chilli pepper, tumeric and ginger, so it was tasty for me. I ordered it again. Will used as replacement for rice or noodles.

Less fishy smell thus less rinsing time, quicker cooking time, low carb content which does not spike my sugar, texture is ok but feels more like a boba not rice if used as a salad ingredient without heating, and very filling only with 2 pouches

I like Konjac rice better than riced cauliflower, especially for soups such as stuffed pepper soup. This rice substitute keeps its shape even if I cook the recipe in my Instant Pot. Great for a Ketovore way of eating. I have purchased this product, as well as the angel hair and broader pastas, a number of times. I rinse well under cold water and have newver had a fishy taste or aroma. Nice staple to have on my pantry shelves. Heartily recommend.

Well, of course it's not the real rice, but I like it a lot. I have diabetes 2 and I'd rather having it. It helps a lot!! It's really easy to use, doesn't smell, really versatile and the texture is pretty close to real rice. I love it and I think it's worthy to give it a try. The only downside is that is not cheap!

I really like this rice. The texture is unlike rice, rice noodles, egg noodles or pasta. It's more on the jelly side and takes a little getting used to. Once I done up my stir fried veg and added the Konjac rice it tasted fine. If your determined to reduce you carbohydrate intake and can tolerate the texture, then this is a perfect substitute.

Great substitute for rice on keto diets. Wash and rinse and add to your curry, stir fries, chilies and you're good to go. Make your dish up and enjoy.....even better when left overnight to soak up the flavors of the rest of the meal. Not rice perfect but very damn close so as to satisfy that craving for rice. Fast delivery as well.

Gerichte lassen sich schnell und einfach zubereiten. Da der Reis schon gekocht ist.

I personally love all konjac products. I was more familiar with the noodles but now that I've tried the rice, I'm hooked. Yes, you have to rinse it. I do so by rinsing it with room temp water and then letting it soak in hot water for a few minutes to warm it up. Yes, it is bland. But it also meshes very well with other dishes. So if your main and other side dishes are well seasoned, you're good to go. Only issue i have is the portions are small for the price. It's very pricey if you want to eat this on a regular basis.

Nice product
