Sea Tangle - Kelp Noodles - 12 lb

I never write reviews, but these noodles are amazing.. I honestly think the bad reviews are from people who don't know how to prep them. I don't mind my noodles a little crunchy, but If you prefer softer noodles all u need to do is clean & soak with hot water. Its very easy to prep. I think it's best made with soups.

The noodles is amazing. I love it. I recommended it

I really wanted to like these... but I couldn’t. The first problem - the cost is prohibitive. The bag that arrived was surprisingly small. The weight came from the water in which it’s packaged. Second. I tried some straight out of the bag. It was akin to chewing on a tasteless crunchy rubber band. A rather strange texture combination and not a pleasing one. I tried adding some to a salad to see if mixed with a bit of greens and acid and fat it would miraculously become palatable. It didn’t. I tried to cook it - in order to soften it up... after boiling it for 15 minutes it still had the same rubber band texture but was a little less crunchy. Three minutes out of the water I added a little sauce and was quite pleased with myself... until I bit into my dinner, the kelp had cooled down a bit and was crunchy and rubber again. I’m beyond disappointed in this product. Perhaps it is ignorance and this is how folks enjoy it. It would be great for weight loss since a few “noodles” take 5 minutes to chew through.

If you've had japchae noodles before, these are very close in texture and flavor (no flavor). Don't expect it to be similar to pasta. The instructions say to combine water, baking soda, and lemon to soften the noodles but I skip the water and only use baking soda and lemon. I mix for about 60 seconds to get the texture I want. These have been a life saver on my no starch diet.

These are SO good. I ordered a pack of the konaberry ones as well and they accidentally got left on the porch overnight and froze and they’re all shriveled and dry now so definitely DO NOT freeze them. Back to these: AMAZING. I rinsed and massaged them under some lukewarm water until they were all separated and then threw them right into my vegan cheese sauce. They’re so delicious. The texture is unique but not too far off from el dente rice pasta. And the best part is that they’re almost ZERO calories. 6cal per 1/2cup, I’d say the pack is about 2cups so even if you are the whole thing it’s practically nothing. The only downside is how expensive they are. But if you’re vegan/raw vegan and you’re someone who loves and misses pasta, these are worth splurging on!
