Shirataki Noodles? page

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if Shirataki noodles are Paleo/Primal friendly? If so, does anyone have any recipes they could share?

They are, but they're fairly useless. Paleo/Primal is big on nutrient density, and these noodles have none. If you must, use a spiralizer to make zucchini noodles or something; it'll be a better investment than the $2/lb konnyaku you're getting anyway.

Aren't they made from soybeans? Making them a no-no for paleo? Cause I used to eat them often and I then I stopped eating soy/tofu. I'd make this sweet miso soup with them.

I missed them til I found kelp noodles at wholefoods. They aren't as tasty but you can make them work after u soak them in hot water, then lightly fry them.

Do a search. There are several threads about the noodles and recipes.

Samira, shirataki noodles are made from yam flour. (Shirataki noodles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) They are basically all fiber so the body passes them along. They don't have a lot of nutrients but if you're craving noodles they can be a good replacement.

Some people love them for that, I have used them in place of spaghetti noodles in Italian dishes (eh, ok but not anywhere near like flour pasta-spaghetti squash worked better), ramen (do-able but still not the same), and stir-frys (worked the best).

There are tofu version of shirataki noodles that are white in color instead of translucent. I will have to give kelp noodles a try. It sounds neat!

they have shirataki noodles that are tofu free! TY for info, I have to look for them. I miss my shirataki noodles but i dont want any soy in my body.

Groktimus: if you like roasted seaweed (which I do) you'll like kelp noodles. I just can't eat it out of the bag cause it kinda smells fishy and its too crunchy. So I wash it and then cook it up.

I've only seen them made of yam flour. I didn't know there were tofu ones as well. Learn something new every day
