I usually spend about 2 months a year 'cuttting'. I've always had success from cutting carbs but I find this very difficult as I'm not a big fan of vegetables. I came ac cross this in the supermarket along with the noodle version and gave this a try.First off the smell... It is really disgusting. Almost a plasticy fishy smell. It really hits you when you open the pack and I can see that some may not be able to get past this. Whilst you can wash off the worst of the smell it does remain a little - I usually wash a portion of the rice in the morning to take to work and when I get to work and open the container I can smell it. The rice has no taste at all and absorbs the flavour of whatever you mix it with well. I have also made egg fried 'rice' with it which comes out well. The texture is a little more rubbery than ordinary rice but not noticeably so. As I mentioned before I've tried the noodles but find the texture of these too chewy. My wife tried the rice but really didn't like it. She said she didn't like the texture and that it made her stomach feel strange. Not sure if this was psychosomatic although I've seen reports of others finding the same so maybe the ingredients in it don;t agree with everyone's digestion?!Overall I'm really happy I've found this product and will keep using it when cutting.Pros:-Low amount of calories-Easy to prepare-Similar texture to normal rice-No taste-Takes on the flavour of other ingredientsCons-Initial smell is bad-May not agree with everyone's digestive system."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"E***S"},"datePublished":"12 January 2025","name":"Good low carb swap for noodles and spaghetti","reviewBody":"On a low carb diet and these are a great alternative to wheat based high carb pasta and noodles."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"1.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"E***N"},"datePublished":"14 January 2025","name":"Awful","reviewBody":"I was prepared for the texture but the taste?

It has no discernible taste of its own and is perfect for curries. It's also very quick and easy to prepare if and makes a nice change from cauli-rice and a very welcome addition if you are on a keto/low-carb diet. I haven't used it in a stir-fry but I imagine it would be fine as it has a slightly chewy texture. This case of six is a very good price as an individual pack is half the price of the one I bought in my local health food shop as a trial taster."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"G***M"},"datePublished":"30 January 2025","name":"Lifesaver for keto","reviewBody":"These have been an absolute lifesaver for me on a low cal keto diet. They stink when you open them, I rinse them very well in a sieve before I heat them. I then drain them again because after the first heat they seem to release a fair bit of liquid. Then I use them in whatever I’m cooking. You need a nice strong sauce for them to soak up . I use a packet of miso often ( no water added) and that works so well with a bit of sesame oil. They really fill you up and help with fibre intake; which can be a problem on keto. They have a firm, jelly consistency which can take some getting used to. Overall if you remove most of your expectations of them being ‘noodle like’ and understand they are noodle in name only, you won’t be disappointed. 100% recommend for low cal keto."},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"3.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"T***S"},"datePublished":"4 March 2024","name":"Too rubbery for sub as 'rice'","reviewBody":"As a low carb eater I gave up pasta and rice which were my two favoraite staples. After a while, you learn to live without them and of course, doing low carb right, you no longer crave them.Yet some foods just work best with pasta or rice, like many Indian, Italian, Thai, Chinese or Mexican dishes.I am a total convert to the noodles. It's been so long since I had pasta that I cant fully recall their texture, but I do know it's not like the noodles. But I think of them as Asian noodles rather than pasta, although I use them in all sorts of dishes. So great to have that sort of food alongside sauces especially.I tell you this so that you know I'm open to 'odd' textures and do enjoy their other product. However, the rice doesn't fully work for me. It's fine, it's a welcome difference to my meals, but it's just too rubbery as 'rice'.I also found I had to rinse the rice due to a bit of a smell, whereas the noodles are scentless (maybe they changed their recipe on those because old reviews mention a stink). A small inconvenience if it was a great rice alternative but it isn't for me.I'll keep it in the pantry for the very occassional meal (like curries)"},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"M***."},"datePublished":"14 March 2025","name":"Great product recommended","reviewBody":"Great product recommended"},{"@type":"Review","reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":"5.0"},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"S***A"},"datePublished":"13 January 2020","name":"Rinse thoroughly before use. The smell is bad! Taste is good!","reviewBody":"When opening the acrid smell is quite intense so don’t be put off. I put them into a sieve and thoroughly rinse through under very hot water for a few minutes until the liquid the rice comes in has gone. I microwave for two minutes and drain again before adding butter and salt. Only after I get rid of the smell can I even think about using it. But gosh one you start prepping your keto dish it’s really amazing. Egg and smoked salmon fried rice or with keto friendly chilli con carne. This rice (not to keen on the noodles) in my opinion when rinsed properly is almost identical to normal rice. My son and daughter in law totally agree. There’s no actual flavour but then neither has normal rice but once you start experimenting it really is fantastic. A keto eaters dream. If you’re an imaginative chef you will love experimenting with flavours to use with this product. Don’t be put of by the stench, it’s just the water it travels in and nothing to do with the finished taste"}],"aggregateRating":{"@type":"AggregateRating","ratingValue":4.125,"bestRating":5,"ratingCount":8}},{"@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"Why does the stated weight on package conflicts with this ad?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Hi I am not sure exactly what you are asking but I will try to answer. The ad states that each bag of rice weighs 250g; this is the net weight. The rice is packaged in water (so it doesn’t dry out) so the gross weight is greater, coming in at 380g per bag. The shipping weight is therefore considerably more than the total net weight. There are 6 bags of rice in the pack so the total net weight is 1500g (1.5kg). I hope this information helps."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Does this taste like basmati rice?

It eats like rice and it doesn't clump like long grain rice but you would not mistake it for actual rice.
