TOO hard to digest, a bit scary
So I LIVE on shirataki noodles but I've been using the ones sold at costco, or the local Japanese market which have the Konjac mixed with tofu (and needs to be refrigerated none stop as a result, so I've not seen that brand sold by Amazon other than via Fresh market). This brand they mix it with oat fibers, which sounded healthy (whole oats are good for you, etc.,) ... I bought the combo box.The top rated review here about the guy having to get a bezoar removed, is NO JOKE PEOPLE! This is a thing -- for those who don't know it's a blockage, like a stone or a massive hairball that totally blocks the digest tract and has to be removed surgically, and as such it's REALLY important that you chew your Shirataki noodles up well before swallowing because once they hit the gastric juices there's nothing more that can be done to break them down -- the way you swallow them is the way they come out the other end. These are NOT safe for little kids or people who refuse to chew their food. The extent to which this particular brand clumps up together in the colander while you're rinsing the noodles should give you a heads up of what could happen in your tummy.The spaghetti variety was SO CHEWY that I was forced to eat them really slowly and my jaw was actually fatigued by the end (tossed out the left over and 2nd bag). Then I tried the Noodle variety... these are much thinner and kind of felt like Asian cellophane noodles made from mungbean... I had these twice, once with pasta sauce, and once in a soup... what came out the other end scared me because of the bezoar risk ... it looked like noodle casserole. As in individual noodles still fully visible... My body REALLY was unable to break it down even a little bit... which has NEVER happened to me before with the ones made of tofu -- and as I said I've been living on those, they are my go to diet food. The tofu brands what comes out the other end looks normal (while the gastric juices can't break down the konjac it CAN break down the tofu mixed into it which breaks up the noodle during digestion)... So I won't be buying these again.

Great flavor and worth the money
I have searched all over the Internet and stores for a product that has a decent flavor when using. I am keto and these are the best noodle, rice replacement I have ever found.

Not satisfied…I received a partial order!
My experience with taste could’ve been better if I had received the full order, but I received a partial order. As seen in photo, there is only one package of rice (orange pack). There should be two of each color as advertised, for a total of six. I received five.Lastly, one pack of the pasta was received torn open. I am disappointed and do not know if I will be purchasing again or if I would recommend this product/seller.Please correct this problem ASAP.Thanks!

Great for low carb meals
Use it to replace my white rice, pasta and other noodles while on keto. I like the texture. Great for stir fry and Ramen. Thinner sauces work best and they really soak up flavor. Be sure to strain it well and will be even better.. Garlic, pepper and some lemon juice, add some.shrimp...good quick meal..

Buying again
Very versatile, have made a variety of different cuisines using this product. The noodles smell when you open the package and I always rinse it and then boil it to keep the flavor/smell neutral. The texture takes getting used to.

Buyer beware
I just received my order and that review about it clumping inside of you and causing a blockage, just really put me off. I tried the rice package and it's not worth the risk to me. Too bad I can't return the rest of the packages, guess I'm just out the money.

Will not purchase again
The scent was repulsive. The taste and texture was the same as a rubber band. I purchased a variety box and threw them all away. Do not purchase.
