The "Eat Water Slim ... Rice / Noodles / Fettucine / Spaghetti range at Holland & Barratt is currently in their buy one get one for a penny sale. This works out at £2.60 for 2 x 200g packets. They warn that this sale is almost over, but I was unable to see when it does end. This range is attractive in that the ingredients are organic and are only Konjac flour and oat fibre (and water). Zero grams of carb per 100g, which may actually mean less than 1 gram carb per 100g.
For comparison, Zero noodles cost £2.29 for 200g, are not organic, and contain only Konnyaku Glucomannan flour (3.8%), food grade Calcium Hydroxide (0.2%) and water, of course. http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/zero-noodles-gluten-free-noodles-60003907?skuid=003907
I have yet to try the Eat Water range, but tonight I ate Zero noodles for the first time. I did not notice the famous bad smell on opening the packet. With butter and grated cheese I thought they were OK, but as I am never going to eat real pasta again, my standards are lenient. They are certainly filling. I ate half a packet with <50g courgette and 100g chicken and I was pogged. This made a change from feeling hungry, but another time I think I'd try eating just a third of a packet. Preparation is a doddle and consists mainly of removing some of the rinsing water and warming the noodles up. Above all one has the agreeable knowledge that one has just eaten something for nothing as far as carbs go.
