Why Use Shirataki Low Carb Noodles

For pasta lovers, one of the most difficult food to let go of is pasta or noodles. Good thing that we now have the low carb shirataki noodles as an option. Shirataki noodles originate from Japan and come from the konjac plant. They are also known as konnyaku or yam noodles.

Shirataki noodles have no nutrients and have no taste of their own. Unless the manufacturer adds nutrients, they can add vitamins and minerals or even tofu. Thus, shirataki noodles have no significant nutritional benefits. However, shirataki noodles are high in fiber and are very low in calories.
