Amazon sells them, and if you look for the 'miracle noodle', they are listed as 0 carb, 0 cal, 0 fat, and they are all konjacu flour. I have used them just for the 0 cal (just re-starting lo carb); and all you really (and I mean REALLY) need to do is rinse them well. The water they are packed in smells a little funny. We add them right to whatever we're cooking. They are good in soups and as substitute pasta. The 'rice' is really much more like little pearls of pasta than actual rice. Some folks say they lightly sautee the noodles first, which gives them a different texture. They are kind of...what's the right description...maybe rubbery? Like, if you take a forkful, the dangly noodles don't just break off like regular pasta - you have to bite them. I would definitely recommend giving them a try to see if you like them, but stay away from the ones with potato starch or tofu!!
