I don’t know why so many of the reviews here expect a pasta replacement with basically ZERO carbs to taste and feel exactly like actual pasta.. SO..
1) yes the initial smell is a little fishy. I assume most people here read reviews before purchasing and know about the smell.. so my advice.. don’t get all curious, stick your nose in it and take a big whiff.. just dump it into a strainer and rinse it off really well. But honestly, I have never had that initial light fishy smell before it’s cooked effect the flavor of the dish.
2) the texture is a bit rubbery and the flavor is bland. I recommend cooking them a bit longer (I’ve done as long as 30 mins) to absorb more flavor. The texture isn’t going to change much, but the good thing about this texture is that it doesn’t really break down and get soggy like regular pasta and leftovers store like a dream. Personally I really don’t mind the texture. I was never a fan of how mushy pasta gets anyway.
3) I’m not diabetic, or on any keto diet.. I just genuinely wanted a replacement for higher carb pasta dishes. This stuff takes the cake in my opinion. As long as you are open minded and understand that it isn’t going to be exactly like those $.25 packages of ramen you’re used to, I don’t see how anyone could be disappointed! TRY IT!

Product Description
Better Than Foods
In 2013, my husband and I, both pharmacists, developed a specialized recipe from the root of Organic Konjac plants, Purified water and Organic Oat Fiber. One day, I decided to try and make a pizza crust using Glucomannan. The outcome was a horrible gel-like mass, instead of pizza. After further research, I discovered that Glucomannan comes from a plant called Konjac, which is used to make Konjac flour. The Japanese have been using this flour to make healthier noodles and pasta for centuries. So, in October 2010, I researched manufacturers, tried lots of samples and I hated what I tasted at first. However, by 2013 we had developed a completely new recipe called Juroat (Konjac flour and Oat fiber), which gives the pasta a better bite, a better texture and the look of real pasta.
At Better Than Foods, we have a range of healthy and tasty pasta, noodles and rice alternatives. Our Organic Konjac range is made from organic Konjac flour from the Konjac plant. Our latest addition is the Instant Konjac range made from a unique blend of ingreients that gives our konjac a texture far better than regular konjac and without the need of water, so there’s no need to drain or rinse.

Be careful to check the advertised size.
I use this at least once per week. Being a Keto follower it fits well in my diet. It tastes the closest to real pasta,, just remember to rinse it well first. But...I have ordered this twice and each time I have received (6) 7oz packs, not the (6) 14oz. packs as shown in the posted ad. This doubles the price!!

UPDATED: I now know why it was so bad. It looks like some of the product wasn't completely processed. The bag I initially opened (first photo) looked and tasted like rubber bands. The second bag (second photo) was exactly like I hoped for, it tasted and felt like regular Konnyaku noodles. It was very good! The third photo is the manufacturer codes so they know which batch was affected.
It seemed like someone in the processing plant forgot to "cook" half of them and just bagged the raw product. 3 bags in my order were like this, so ½ of my order was inedible. It's still a horrible deal since the manufacturer won't let me return the inedible product to get a replacement, so I am keeping my 1 star review. If they reach out to me to give me a replacement, I will change my review.
+++++
I had such high hopes for this product. I have tried other brands and liked them but this, by far is the worst out of them all. I followed the directions on the package, rinsed them and boiled them for the recommended 5 minutes. Then I tried the noodles... it's like chewing a rubber bands... I couldn't even break it down by chewing them. THEY GOT STUCK IN MY TEETH! I thought maybe boiling it longer would help. NOPE! This time it was harder to chew, if that is even possible.
What really stinks is I cannot return it so I wasted the $28 on garbage!
Do yourself a favor and don't buy this product!
