Spaghetti Hearts of Palm Noodles 9oz

I really wanted to love this healthy alternative to pasta. The taste was terrible. I could of gotten past that, it took 5 minutes to chew and swallow. I’m not kidding. I’m very health conscious. But, a hard no.

It was meh. Palmetti brand is much tastier. It keeps its texture better, and is comparable to spaghetti squash. This one is mushier. I don’t recommend it.

Just tried this for the first time after a friend mentioned this type “noodle”. If you like spaghetti squash, you will likely like this. You don’t get much, but it’s sooo much easier than cutting/cooking the squash, and I preferred this anyway. I’m the only one that eats this way, so I typically waste some of the ss. I’ll buy again for sure. Mind you, I’ve not eaten regular pasta in a long time. Some gluten free pasta is OK, but it’s STILL some sort of flour, and I’ve not figured out for sure if it’s gluten or just flour in general that my system doesn’t like. I tried it initially just rinsing, then heating a little for my pasta sauce. It was ok. I then added some of the noodles to boiling water for five minutes. Not mushy, but pretty soft. I kept the extra in a baggie, and added sauce, meat to eat the next day. Still pretty good. I’ve been missing spaghetti, so I got my fix. Yay!

Giving this 2 stars because the taste wasn't terrible. It was easy to prepare, and just needed to be heated up. But this will never be a pasta substitute. It tastes like a mild vegetable - but nothing close to pasta. I'm doing the Whole30 eating plan and this seems to be a popular choice for people. I prefer spaghetti squash to this. Also this was very expensive for just 9 oz. Better off eating vegetables or squash.

Wow, a nice mild taste compared to so many other pasta substitutes. A little more crunch that we would like, next time we will give it a few extra seconds in the microwave. Very pleased and will get more!
