Miracle Noodles and Miracle Rice are Shirataki noodles, and have been enjoyed in Japan for over 1,400 years. That’s where I discovered them. And in 2006 I introduced this guilt-free noodle to the USA.

Made from the Konjac plant, Miracle Noodle and Miracle Rice are 97% water and 3% soluble fiber – called glucomannan -- (plus a natural calcium additive to help the noodles keep their shape). That’s it!

Glad you asked! In fact, my Mother lost around 30 pounds avoiding white flour and using our products instead!**

Miracle Noodles are 97% water. There's also 3% soluble vegetable fiber in the noodles. Together, the water and the fiber help you feel full — fast — even though the noodles have, at most, only a handful of calories per serving (many of our noodle and rice products are calorie-free!).

If you eat Miracle Noodles or Miracle Rice for lunch and/or dinner once a day instead of regular high- calorie pasta and rice dishes, you'll slash, on the conservative side, at least 2800 calories per week! How's that possible? An average person eats about 400 calories worth of high-carb pasta or rice at one sitting (x7 = 2800). That's 11,200 calories per month!

You can see how easy it is to lose weight just by eating something delicious once a day. Now imagine how much easier your weight loss will be eating Miracle Noodles and Miracle Rice for both lunch and dinner!

P.S. They’re also low carb!

You may store your Miracle Noodles/Rice in the pantry as they are shelf stable. Refrigerating them is also an option. DO NOT freeze them as this will make the noodles/rice inedible. Once the bag is opened and you decide to only eat half a bag, place the unprepared portion in water in a sealed container and refrigerate. These noodles will last another 7 days this way. It is recommended to change the water every couple of days. When the noodles are already prepared in a sauce, refrigerate in a sealed container, and the noodles will last another 2-4 days this depending on the sauce. Noodle/Rice leftovers are delicious! Feel free to reheat for a short time in the microwave or on the stove.

Yes! Please pardon us when we say they may just save the day!

Yes! Miracle Noodles and Miracle Rice (also known as shirataki noodles, which means “white waterfall”) give low carbohydrate dieters the freedom to enjoy the bliss of eating noodles and rice without the high calories, high carbohydrates, and blood sugar spikes.

Whether you're trying lose weight, eat low-carb or improve your blood sugar balance, you must learn to master the Glycemic Index. That means regular pasta, noodles and rice are a no-no on your approved diet list. At least that’s what you may have been told by your doctor or nutritionist.

Well, good news: you can have your cake and eat it, too. Ok, maybe not regular cake, but there's a substitute for several types of your favorite carbohydrates that you can enjoy guilt-free, everything from fettuccini to angel hair pasta to ziti to rice.

“How can that be?” you might ask. After all, aren't these the type of carbohydrates that rapidly convert into sugar, forcing your pancreas to work overtime, releasing more insulin, the hormone that escorts sugar from the bloodstream into the cells?

Aren't noodles one of the major foods responsible for your system having become more resistant to insulin over the years, making your cells reject the hormone? Aren't noodles high on the glycemic index, the scale that measures how quickly a certain food can raise blood sugar levels?

The answer to both questions is “yes” but with one major exception. In Japan, a noodle made from a flour called ‘Konjac’ has been a dietary staple for 1,400 years. It contains zero net calories and zero net carbs and has a glycemic index score of zero, meaning it will not spike your blood sugar levels at all.

That’s why the name “Miracle Noodle” is not hyperbole. It’s nothing short of miraculous that thousands of people have improved their blood sugar balance and lost significant weight and managed to stay on a low-carb diet just by incorporating Miracle Noodles and Miracle Rice into their diet.

Yes, they are! Miracle Noodles and Miracle Rice are Certified Vegan and are made from three simple ingredients – Water, Konjac flour and calcium additive (old-fashioned pickling lime). The calcium additive is used as a shape stabilizer for the noodles and completely natural.

Miracle Noodle currently has 10 products, none of which contain wheat or gluten. You can have your noodles and eat them, too. without the wheat.

If you keep kosher, you’ll be happy to know that Miracle Noodle Angel Hair, Fettuccini, Miracle Rice, and Garlic and Herb noodles, are certified Kosher by Orthodox Union (click here to see the products). Plus, Miracle Noodle Organic spaghetti, Organic Fettuccine, and Organic Rice are Kosher AND Organic.

As you may know, there’s a simple rule for nutrition - if the ingredients of a product have to be listed in a lengthy paragraph and there are several words in there that you can’t even properly pronounce, it’s probably not good for you.

The opposite is also true. If the ingredients are only one simple line with ingredients that are easy to pronounce (and don’t sound like crazy chemicals) then it’s probably good for you (obviously I trust that you always use your own judgment in cases where it’s not clear).

The Miracle Noodles and Miracle Rice are a prime example of this.

There are only three simple ingredients – water, Konjac flour and calcium additive (old-fashioned pickling lime). Konjac flour is a fiber that comes from the Konjac plant. The Konjac flour helps to improve digestion and is good for your intestines.* The fiber also makes you feel fuller longer.

Shirataki noodles also contain natural prebiotics – a key ingredient (especially in today’s environment) when it comes to gut health and inner balance.

The Miracle Noodle mission is to give you peace of mind when it comes to food selection. We’re careful with the sodium!

Our Ready-To-Eat Meals do have sodium, but we worked hard to make sure it was below 400mg per serving (the pho has 405mg).

I’m sorry to hear that you have had to deal with breast cancer, and hope that you are recovering quickly and feeling better.

You may be familiar with the Okinawa region of Japan, famous for its extraordinarily high number of centenarians — people who live healthy, robust lives to 100 and beyond.

Researchers who have studied these centenarians believe that their robust health partially stems from eating Kanten on a regular basis.

Kanten noodles are made from a type of seaweed vegetable known as tengusa. It’s a long, labor-intensive process to convert agar-agar, the gelatin-like substance of the tengusa into a delicious noodle.

Our Kanten Noodles are made using the traditional methods that have been passed down through generations: the seaweed is placed on the side of the mountain in the winter, where it freezes during the night and thaws during the day in the sunshine. Through careful maintenance by an artisan who constantly monitors meteorological condition, especially temperature, Kanten Noodles are created. This entire, painstaking process takes 3-4 weeks for just one batch!

Our Kanten Noodles are made by a family of amazing artisans who live at high altitudes in the mountains of Japan and work as part of a small, family-run Kanten noodle production facility.

We’ve made white rice healthy!

Miracle Rice is made with Konjac flour, and has zero calories and zero net carbs. There is a short, simple preparation process before eating and enjoying them.

Love My Rice is a combination of Konjac flour and white rice. By replacing most of the starch in white rice with Konjac flour, you’ll enjoy white rice with lower carbs, lower calories and 3grams of fiber per serving.

Love My Rice has only 70 calories and 15 g Net Carbs per serving. That’s almost half the calories and carbs found in regular white rice. It’s fast and easy to prepare — simply rip the top of the package about 2 inches and pop it in the microwave. Ta-da! Guilt-Free white rice!

Yes! Kids in Japan enjoy big blocks of konnyaku (which is the same ingredient but in blocks not noodles) in their stews and soups. When you can focus on high-quality ingredients in the rest of the meal as they do in Japan, the Miracle Noodles just make it even healthier by avoiding the high starch and high sugar foods commonly overeaten by today's kids. They get the comfort food experience of slurping noodles without out any negatives. Mom and Dad will, too!

There are reasons why this can happen, particularly when a sample is low in carbohydrate. A few realities about the analytical work may be of interest.

In nutritional labeling “Carbohydrate” is only rarely measured directly. It is “measured” as 100 minus the sum of moisture, protein, fat and ash. The “ash” is an estimate of mineral content. The result is that “carbohydrate” is one of the least accurate “measurements” in food analysis. The uncertainty includes the uncertainties from all of those tests. Even so, it is sufficient for the intended purpose of the tests.

Further, the total dietary fiber methods are among the least accurate methods in the food analysis arena, even though it is a direct measurement . As a result, dietary fiber and traditional carbohydrate methods are together responsible for rather poor measurements for both. When the level of carbohydrate is low you can see this kind of phenomenon, particularly in the low carb industry, where there are many products where all of the carbohydrate is dietary fiber.

There is no regulatory issue with this kind of appearance of inconsistency. The labeling law does not say that trivial arithmetic differences like this should be “fixed”. The labeling law says that the declared amount for an analyte must be within the brackets of 80% and 120% of the value obtained in a regulatory analysis.

The caramel color comes from dextrose from cassava and tapioca, water, and glucose.

This is a high quality plant based food that is naturally high in fiber. We recommend paying attention to the serving size and eating no more than 2 servings which is one bag.

Reviews for "Magic clay as a therapeutic tool for stress relief"

1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really excited to try out Magic Clay Far, but I was quite disappointed with the product. The clay was very stiff and difficult to mold, making it frustrating to work with. Additionally, the colors were not as vibrant as I had hoped, and they became duller after drying. The clay also had a strong chemical smell that was unpleasant. Overall, it did not live up to my expectations and I would not recommend it.

2. Michael - 1/5 - Magic Clay Far was a complete waste of my money. The texture of the clay was terrible, it was extremely sticky and difficult to work with. It also left a sticky residue on my hands even after washing them several times. The colors were not true to the ones shown on the packaging, which was disappointing. The worst part was that the clay dried out very quickly, even when stored in a sealed container. I had high hopes for this product, but it was a total letdown.

3. Emily - 2/5 - I found Magic Clay Far to be quite disappointing. The clay was very soft and mushy, making it difficult to create any intricate designs.

Overall, I was not satisfied with the quality of this clay and would not purchase it again.

4. John - 3/5 - While Magic Clay Far was not necessarily a terrible product, I found it to be mediocre at best. The clay was quite crumbly and would often break apart while molding it. The colors were not as bright as I had expected, but they did stay true after drying. The texture was also a bit grainy, which made it difficult to achieve a smooth finish. It is an okay option for beginners, but there are certainly better clays available in the market.
