Many thanks, Ken. Looks like it's 23 gr. per serving. Still...a little
carby.

If you read further, the carbs are fiber, said to be indigestible.

That would make them non-carby in the diegestion sense, unless you have
enough stomaches and the right digestive bugs.

all kinds pasta.

Konjac wet foods is traditional Japanese foods called shirataki noodles
or konnyaku.
Konjac foods, translucent and gelatinous, have no discernable taste but
absorb the dominant flavors of the soup or dish to which they're added.
Konjac foods have no flavors but absorb any they're with, like tofu will
blend wonderfully and absorb flavors. They're supposed to absorb tastes
of sauces as well.

Konjac foods are white in color, almost transparent and gelatinous, and
package with water filled plastic bags. They consist primarily of a
glucomannan soluble fiber, and are very low glycemic, and therefore
especially good for people with diabetes.

I've been looking carefully at all the listings and the one you cited
had the best count. The others were much higher. Some carb counts were
very high, so I don't know what to think. I'll investigate the actual
store packages and hope I find a carb count with fiber.

I would love to find a low carb noodle.
Thanks for your input.

Bean thread noodles are the ones high in carbs...
Shirataki are not. :-)

Look for that specifically.
It's pretty much zero net carbs.

It's a wet, not a dry noodle.

The Shirataki noodles are unlike noodles of wheat or rice or bean pasts.
They have been described in another thread here in the last week or so,
and you should read that thread to learn about them.

I am looking for a local source to try them myself. NOT in regular
grocery stores here and NOT in health food stores either.

There are lots of carby noodles from Asia in regular stores and health
food stores.

The Shirataki noodles have NO FAT, NO PROTEIN, NO Digestible
carbohydrates.... they are only a gel of fiber (an undigestivle
carbohydrate) and water (96 % water or there abouts, so it has been said).

They have no taste.... but pick up flavors from other foods during cooking.

They are indigestible edible non-food. Sound like a dieter's dream.

Read the other threads on this stuff.

Don't waste your time looking at any other packages in the stores.

I hope you find it. I hope I find it locally, too.

I finally found them at the Asian market in Austin.

In the refrigerated section.

Thanks for the tip. I checked my local Asian supermarket and was
disappointed to find glass noodles at 50 gr. of carb per cup. A lady in
my D.M. support group thought they were low carb. Not so.

I'm on the lookout for Shirataki.

Sounds to me like she confused the two types. They look similar
once cooked, but I've seen mung bean glass noodles dry in stores
and I've never seen dry shirataki.

There's a couple of noodle products from House Foods America that is a blend
of Tofu & Shiratake. I found them recently at my local Low-Carb specialty
store - Low Carb Nation, near Portland, OR.

Don't know about other noodles, but shiritake noodles are about as
high in carbs as cardboard.
