This article is inaccurate. I just read the wiki... there's a very big difference between "no calories and no carbs" with low calories and low carbs.

It it has NO calories... then it's water!

Miracle noodles are all well and good but what do they taste like? If theyre inedible, you wont eat them. End of miracle.

They are actually really tasty. Taste like any other noodle. The consistency is difference - spongier. I love them. The only downside is that they are expensive.

...which would be great, if only they tasted like anything you're supposed to put in your mouth. I tried the miracle noodle a few years ago, rinsed them extensively like everyone says you're supposed to do, and found them inedibly disgusting. That's coming from someone who was raised in the South, eating pretty much everything that would fit under gravy, and now follows a vegan diet, so you know my threshold for "inedibly disgusting" is pretty high.

I am a little suspicious of this product. It seems super-processed and wiki says it can be stored for a year. That doesn't seem right to me. I'll look into it deeper but it seems a little to good to be true.
