Los Angeles, California – Melissa’s Shirataki Noodles are a quintessential Japanese food that is all natural and has no fat, is calorie free, gluten free, and soy free. Made from the root of the yam-like konnyaku or konjac plant, Melissa’s Shirataki are virtually a zero-calorie food, with a good amount of soluble dietary fiber in the form of glucomannan from the konnyaku plant, plus some traces of minerals like calcium and iron.
Melissa’s Shirataki is available in two varieties – spaghetti and fettuccini. Both are packaged in water with a shelf life of up to one year; simply drain and rinse for use in soups or stir fry right out of the package. For a firmer consistency, dry roast the noodles on high heat in a non-stick skillet for one minute. Having little inherent taste, Shirataki noodles easily absorb the flavors of all the other ingredients or sauces during the cooking process. They are a healthy alternative to high carb pasta or grains.
