Shirataki is a carbohydrate alternative that can be in either wet or dry form. The dry versions which Against The Grain sells taste more like actual rice and noodles. It is a low carb rice substitute, high in fiber and low in calories. It is primarily made from Konjac, a root vegetable native to Southeast Asia. This food has a lot of great health benefits, thus earning the nicknames “miracle rice” and “skinny rice”.
