3.0 out of 5 stars Great product, but over priced. May 23, 2010

By lookingforcomfyheels

I agree with the other reviewers that kelp noodles are definitely a delicious and nutritious noodle substitute. But $10.95 is absolute ridiculously over priced. I live in Manhattan and buy the same product in H market in Korea Town for $2.99. I recommend this product, but not for this price. If you live in a metropolitan city I would suggest purchasing kelp noodles at any major Asian market for a fraction of the price listed here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great as a Topping Raw or as Noodles Cooked March 27, 2009

By T. Haupt

In our home we strive to eat as many healthy raw foods as possible. We encounter common challenges like eating out, school lunch, weight loss, etc. We currently try to eat about 50% raw.

I got these kelp noodles because I am not really crazy for raw squash noodles for a pasta substitute(we loved them steamed with garlic though). These are super squeaky and crunchy when you eat them raw.

They are great raw to add crunch into stir-frys after you have finished cooking them.(This is a great trick to get more raw veggies into your diet. Leave a few of you veggies like shredded cabbage, green onions, and shredded carrots out while cooking and then add them back in after the dish is cooked.)

They are great cooked for a noodles substitute. Cooked, I find them like rice or bean curd noodles you would find in the asian section of the grocery store or asian market.

They are very mild tasting so they take on what ever flavor you would like. Kelp or any sea vegetables are super healthy for you. These are a great way to get them into your diet, if you don't normally like the strong flavors of nori or any of the other sea veggies. Oh and these are TRUELY RAW. No false labeling here! Yeah!

5.0 out of 5 stars From the Sea March 27, 2010

By Amaranth

100% Raw Kelp Noodles are EXCELLENT! I use them to make the raw Pad Thai from Vegan Fusion World Cuisine: Healing Recipes and Timeless Wisdom from our Hearts to Yours They don't need to be cooked. The best are the unusual green tea flavored ones. All they need is a good peanut sauce, fresh fruits and vegetables, and it's a filling feast. Kelp noodles, on the surface, sound icky and gross. They have the same texture as regular noodles; they're also good for people with gluten free diets. Kelp noodles are a taste delight from the sea!
