What if I told you there was a gluten-free, zero calorie, zero carbohydrate noodle that was a great alternative to traditional pasta noodles (for those who aren’t fans of veggie noodles)?
As you may guess from the name, shirataki noodles originated in Japan. They are made from the Konjac root, also called White Yam or Devil’s Tongue. They have a gelatinous texture and are a good source of the dietary fiber Glucomannan.
To make the noodles, the Glucomannan fiber is extracted from the Konjac root and mixed with water and limewater. This creates a gelatinous substance called konnyaku which is made into noodle-like or rice-like substances.
The finished noodles are 97% water and 3% indigestible fiber, making it a zero calorie noodle.
These noodles have gained the nickname “Miracle Noodles,” and are completely paleo and calorie-free.
They have virtually no taste on their own but have a slight fish-like smell when packaged wet. This is due to the water they are packaged in and can be easily rinsed off.
Some versions of these noodles have added soy or other ingredients so it is important to read labels if using these noodles. They can be found both wet (like these) and dry (like these) and can be used in many dishes in place of wheat-based noodles.
It would seem like a product like this is too good to be true, but Shirataki noodles live up to their hype.
Shirataki noodles are a good source of fiber from konjac. Because konjac is a water-soluble fiber, it can help to promote weight loss and improve gut health. Shirataki noodles are also low in calories and carbs and as you can see, are pretty devoid of nutrients, aside from fiber, which makes them perfect for a sensitive gut and also easy on digestion. They’re great for people who have egg, wheat, soy, and grain intolerances or allergies.
while consumption doesn’t cause you to lose weight, it helps you to feel full so that you are likely to eat less.
shirataki noodles are made from glucomannan, a fiber that comes from the konjac plant. Humans can’t digest this fiber, which is why shirataki noodles have such a low carb and calorie count.
Glucomannan is a fascinating substance, as it can absorb 50 times its weight in water. This property makes it helpful for weight loss, as the expansion of glucomannan in your stomach helps you feel full longer. A 2005 study found that overweight people who consumed glucomannan on a regular basis lost an average of 9 lbs over a 5-week period with no other lifestyle changes.
Shirataki noodles are great for gut health because they contain glucomannan fiber, which is a soluble fiber similar to chia seeds. This fiber is excellent for digestion as it is prebiotic (feeds your gut bacteria).
In a study, konjac noodles is said to be an emerging speciality medical food to aid in the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

While the konjac noodles seem like a miracle discovery with few calories and carbohydrates, I would caution you to consume them in moderation like you would any other food. You need a balance of macronutrients to feel your best and you don’t want to get too much of any individual food (even healthy ones).
