Zeroodle LIVIVA Organic Rice-Shaped Shirataki with Oat Fibre, Low-Calorie Pasta Made from Konjac Root, Non-GMO, Gluten Free and Keto Certified, 400g (Pack of 1)

The little bit of oat fiber in Liviva rice is a game changer, compared to other shirataki rice made purely of conjac. The oat fiber makes the product less slippery. Of course, nothing's the same as eating rice that absorbs sauce so nicely. This rice will not absorb sauces, but at least it's not slimy like pure conjac rice. It took me a few times to figure out how to get rid of the excess water in the rice. After draining it, the best method I found is to microwave the rice on a paper towel. Yes, Liviva rice is a few calories more than conjac rice, but oat fiber makes it more palatable. I would buy this again.

The oat fibre addition to this 'rice' makes a huge difference with very little addition of calories and carbs. I don't feel like I am chewing on elastic bands. I added this rice to a massive pot of low-carb stew/soup, and it DID soak up a bit of the broth, I wouldn't go as far to say it would be an exact substitute for rice, but it sure gives a mouthfeel of a starch. No need to cook it, open the packet and rinse it thoroughly. It says to pat it dry on the packet but if you are adding it to a soup or stew, don't bother. If you are using it for a bed under a stirfry, then perhaps you would need to do so. I noticed there was no strong fishy odour from the liquid it is packaged in. BONUS.

I have used the Liviva Rice for 3 years now, my family loves it every bit as much as real rice. No odor, but you still need to rinse and dry as best possible before making into Fried Rice (what we use it for). It really does not have a "taste", and takes on the taste of whatever you are making it with. I add soy and chicken base. The texture is a little "rubbery", but not bad at all when considering its zero carb. My reason for giving this listing a 1 star was because it is misleading. This ad says you get 6 packages for the price posted of $4.49 (which is close to what I paid for one package, but the ad did say it was a sale). They make you buy at least 2. Not a problem as I generally use 4pks for one batch of fried rice. In any event, I knew this was a great deal so I bought 4 orders (of 6 as the ad states, meaning I should of recieved 24 pkgs). I was charged $17.96, and then when the box arrived I got 4 single packages, not the 24 as posted in the ad. When I contacted customer service, they said sorry and did not send the remaining part of what I ordered, the ad was a "Mistake". Its a bait and switch and they lied, and here we are a month later, and they have not changed the ad/posting. It still says you can buy 6/$4.99, so they took the "sale" off of the 6/$4.49, and upped it up to 6/$4.99. It's a lie. Dont fall for it and find another seller, or go to low carb Canada or another retailer alltogether.

I have used another brand of shirataki rice for years and I was pretty satisfied with it. But this one is just awesome! It is much more rice-like. In fact tonight I made chicken and shrimp fried rice with it that was great. I think it’s the texture that makes it better. I’m glad I found it.

A better substitute to rice than cauliflower rice (you can mix both shirataki and cauliflower). It’s allowed me to enjoy the Asian food I grew up with.
