In the event that you have came here searching for a kale salad recipe and don’t know what shirataki noodles are. Shirataki noodles are a Japanese noodle made from 97% water and 3% soluble fiber. The beauty of these noodles is that they are effectively calorie free because they contain no USABLE calories. What does this mean? Well, you know that water has no calories and these noodles are 97% water. Fiber is classed as a carb. Traditional carbs contain 4 calories per gram. But the human body can’t digest fiber or convert it to energy which makes those calories unusable. Therefore, shirataki noodles do not provide energy to the body. So they make a good option to normal noodles for people who want to restrict carbs or lose weight. They are very filling so they are a great way to fill out a meal without overloading on calories.
