Sunnyside Konjac Dry Rice (200g) – Zero Sugar, Low Fat, High Fiber, Vegan & Gluten-Free Rice Alternative

There’s a little bit of a gummy texture and it doesn’t fluff up like regular rice does but overall very similar in taste and texture. Just be careful of consuming too much of it daily because of the high fiver content.

Since I am pre-diabetic and rice and grain products increase my glucose level, I am always on the lookout for rice alternatives. I love the Sunnyside Dry Shirataki Konnyaku Rice, which has a similar texture to real rice without the odor in other shirataki products. It cooks quickly (5-10 minutes) with just hot water and 1 pack can yield 2 servings (depending on your appetite). It also goes very well with riced vegetables, which I mix together like in fried rice. And for those who are vegan and/or looking for gluten free alternatives, Sunnyside has the Konnyaku Rice, Vegan, Gluten Free, Keto Friendly, Paleo, Kosher, Low Carbs 0 Fat, Low Calorie High Fiber version of this. The only thing I "dislike" is that I find this product expensive, although I will continue to buy it until I find a similar alternative that is cheaper.

Surprisingly good!

Easy to prepare and texture is about as close to real white rice as you are going to get. This is much better than the "wet" Konnyaku family of noodles and rice that you have to rinse before eating. So,I enjoy using this in my cooking. Only thing is the price, which is pretty high. But, it is still cheaper than monthly payments for a GLP1 prescription.

It has some carb, though I still lost weight on my low carb diet. for preparation, I heat little broth in the microwave then add the dry rice, mix it, leave it for 15 min, then ready to eat. I did leave it for few hours to overnight one time, came perfect, just add little olive oil to fluff it up. love how this rice absorbs the flavors you add to it. I did hydrate it with chicken broth, it was yummy. I don't think it is super filling by it self, but when you mis it with cauliflower rice and make egg fried rice with it, super good and very filling. It does have a texture of pasta more than rice, but still good. I recommend. It is expensive, though for the amount, only 2 bags inside the box. If it smells fishy (doesn't bother me), just add seasoning. That would take the smell away. Atleast for me.
