Just tried them for the first time - really like the flavor but am struggling with the texture - a little on the rubbery side.... is that normal for a tofu noodle? Should I cook them longer? (I was afraid they'd get pasty, but I guess since there's not really a flour in there, they shouldn't)....

Suggestions on getting past the bounciness of these noodles or should I just learn to love it?

Howdy All,

I am also a huge fan of these WildWood pastas, and just thought I would pass along (for those of you in the Bay Area) that they carry both the spaghetti and the fettucine at Farmer Joe's grocery store on Fruitvale Avenue in Oakland. It's a great store, and you'll find the pastas in the veggie/vegan refrigerated section on the produce side of the store. Good luck!

Cheers,

Jennifer

These look great! I thought tofu shirataki was alright, but felt the same way about the after taste. I'll be on the lookout for these - haven't seen them yet, though!

Joanna:

I've tried all sorts of different toppings for them. I think they'd be great in a soup. Just make sure you cook and rinse them and then pat them dry before you put them into your broth (so your soup doesn't get that aftertaste -- I'm assuming you bought the non-spinach flavored kind).

I've totally eaten them with marinara sauce, as well as low fat sour cream, cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese and pepper (pretty random, eh?). The cool part of them being so low calorie is that you can put almost anything on these noodles without having to feel guilty.

Let us know what you think!

Hey anonymous,

I doubt it. They need to be refrigerated so selling them online would be tricky.

I don't like them nearly as much but if you are dying to have them, you can try Tofu Shirataki in the mean time. They can usually be found at Whole Foods in the salsa/hummus refrigerated section. They are equally as low in calorie, just not spinach flavored (which is why I love these).

i bought a bag of these last week at whole foods because they sounded soo good. it's a different brand, but they're still tofu noodles. i haven't had a chance to cook with them yet, but i'm excited. i got the spaghetti. did you eat yours with sauce? i was planning on throwing them in soup because i wasn't sure if they would taste good with pasta sauce.

Hi Balance Joy and Food!

Here is the ingredient list:

water, pulmone tofu ( water, non-gmo soybeans, calcium sulfate, glucono delta lactone), konjac flour, spinach powder.

By the way -- here's some text on glucono delta lactone from ener-g.com:

"Glucono-delta-lactone (GDL) does not contain lactose, gluten, and being derived from rice, it's corn-free as well!.

GDL is produced by the fermentation of glucose. The glucose is rice derived. Glucono-Delta-Lactone is further separated by crystallization. GDL is soluble in water and is non-toxic and completely metabolized in our bodies."

Lastly, I wanted to tell you that this isn't the only brand that makes uber-low calorie tofu noodles... I am just not a big fan of other(Tofu Shirataki -- which you can buy at Whole Foods).
