Tofu Shirataki Noodles
Shirataki noodles were originally developed in Asia, but they have
recently come to the attention of people around the world. Because these
noodles are almost totally a beneficial type of fiber, they have almost no "bad" carbohydrates. There are some indications that they may have other health benefits as well.
Shirataki comes from the root of a plant (Amorphophallus Konjac,
or a few other closely-related species) grown in various parts of Asia,
and given many names in different places, including Konnyaku potato (or
just konnyaku), konjac, konjaku, elephant yam (although as far as I can
tell, they are not related to any other plant commonly called “yam”),
and others. The fiber is also known as glucomannan.There is some evidence that glucomannan, when tested as a powdered
supplement, can play a role in blood sugar control, as well as improve
cholesterol control and weight loss (see this report). It also contributes to fiber intake and can be a substitute for starchy noodles.
