Nourishment for your body: I stumbled upon this product while at Whole Foods recently. I thought this was a cool product because the noodles are so incredibly crunchy, versatile, and healthy for you. They are made by combining water, brown seaweed and alginate (a substance derived from brown seaweed to improve the texture of many foods). Kelp noodles are high in iodine, calcium, and contain almost no carbohydrates. It does not contain cholesterol or sugar and is great for people with a gluten sensitivity, as It is not made with it.
Tips when cooking: These noodles can be added to stir-fries, soups and casserole dishes. You can find them in the refrigerator section next to Tofu or in the Asian food aisle.
