Kelp Noodles
"We just absolutely love these kelp noodles. There's no particular flavour with them so they work well with any raw pasta sauce. Great texture too. Almost as if they'd been cooked!"
Kelp noodles look and taste like Chinese glass noodles. They come in the same little plastic pouches, which you just snip open and they are ready to eat. Although they are pretty tasteless as they are, they are transformed by any of your favourite raw dressings - from plain hemp oil and tamari, to pesto, tomato sauce, or mayonnaise. They are one of those heavenly foods that are so much fun to eat, you can't believe they score high in the nutrition department as well. Kelp noodles are made in the USA. One packet contains two good servings.

Sea Tangle says, "We use sun-dried kelp minus the green outer layer, which is a skin. What is left is white and looks very much like our noodles. The dried kelp is made into a powder, which is then added to water and sodium alginate, and then made into the noodles. No heat is used in the process of making the noodles."
Kelp Noodles are a sea vegetable in the form of an easy to eat raw noodle. Made of only kelp (a sea vegetable), sodium alginate (sodium salt extracted from a brown seaweed), and water, Kelp Noodles are fat-free, gluten-free, and very low in carbohydrates and calories. Their noodle form and neutral taste allow for a variety of uses including salads and soups, while their healthful content provides a rich source of trace minerals, which kelp is well known for. Their unique texture completes the package, making Kelp Noodles a one-of-a-kind healthful and tasty alternative to pasta and rice noodles
Best of all, no cooking is required. See "How To Use" below, for preparation tips.
Kate says, "I always have a bag of kelp noodles in the cupboard, as my fallback if I'm out of inspiration for what to do for dinner. I love them in a creamy dressing with some sauerkraut or kale. You can find lots of recipes in my books."

"They are a welcome variety, so like glass noodles but actually better but it’s less gluey. I’ll being buying this again."
"Trying to expand my raw food recipes but was unsure if these would have a fishy taste, but not at all, I totally enjoyed them and will definitely be buying again (and they’re cheaper than Amazon!)"
"Just tried Kelp Noodles for the first time by soaking in Lime water made a Avacado sauce with wild Garlic, olive oil, Basil and some activated walnuts. Was 😋 delicious , will be buying again, thank you."
"Love these I make the recipe from your book with kale and a pumpkin seed butter sauce ."
"I like to have Kelp Noodles in the cupboard for a quick meal, & the larger packs mean I can batch cook for the week (or feed a crowd). So versatile & a good solution for pasta cravings."
"These noodles are made from algae, I think, so are nutritious, and are an excellent way to feel satiated, without the calories! They just need flavour of sauces , say, herbs, garlic, purees, cheese."
"Very nice noodles, good quality, taste lovely, big pack perfect for 2 poeples,still fresh I enjoyed them with cashew sauce, tomatoe sauce and raw vegetables."
"They are unusual but inoffensive, I have them with coconut aminos, salad, dried tomatoe paste and they fill me up nicely."
