I am not sure how long Miracle Noodles have been around, I discovered them sort of by accident.
I am about 8 to 10 years late to the low carb lifestyle but I figured any diet that allows me to eat meats and cheeses can't be too terrible.
All was fine until I started missing my old carb friend...pasta. IT was a crippling blow to my diet as I literally went into anxiety mode everytime I saw pasta in a tv show, commercial, movie, read about it...hell, I almost had a breakdown while watching "Lady and the Tramp".

Almost as a joke I Googled "zero carb pasta" just
to laugh at myself but something unexpected happened. No, Google did not
grow a hand and smack me for being stupid, it actually returned the
Miracle Noodle page in the results.
I was skeptical...who wouldn't be? It is simply not possible to get a real pasta experience from a plant. Or so I thought! On a whim and without doing a terrible amount of research I ordered a ten pack of angel hair noodles. 70 glorious ounces of zero carb/zero calorie noodly goodness.

For the record, the following is true:
They stink. Yes, there is an odor when you open the package due to fermenting, but once the noodles are washed and boiled the smell is gone and there is no foul taste associated with the smell.
They are flavorless. Yes, they don't have a starchy flavor so common in pasta and noodles because they are not made from starch. They are simply plant fiber.

They have a rubbery texture. Sort of, but if you
follow the instructions this is minimized and the end result is on par
with a toothsome al dente pasta. It is not like chewing on rubber bands.
The noodles do take on the flavor of whatever you cook them in, sort of similar to the way tofu operates.

Okay.....I tried these noodles initially because of the HCG Diet. I
continue to use them now because they are delicious! Not to mention how
good they are for you.
If you have never had them before....be ready for the smell of fish when you first open the bag. (they are stored in water) The key to getting the smell out is rinsing thoroughly in cold water before cooking them.
They are easily prepared....
I found that pouring boiling hot water over the noodles to warm them works great, opposed to boiling them in the water. Patting the noodles dry (I use paper towels) before adding your favorite topping is a must!! This keeps them from becoming slimy. If you have left overs, they reheat wonderfully!! In fact I find everything taste better the next day.
The texture is definitely different from egg noodles. They are kind of like gummy worms without any flavor. The noodles absorb the flavor of whatever you top them with. Spaghetti & stir fry are a couple of my favorites!!
One last note.....
The unopened packages store without refrigeration and have a 6 month shelf life.
I hope this helps!!
