The word “Shirataki” is Japanese for “white waterfall,” which describes the noodles’ white translucent appearance. Made from natural fiber found in the root of the Konjac plant, these noodles are very low in calories and contain no digestible carbs.  

Shirataki noodles are also known as miracle noodles because of their health benefits and assistance in weight loss. Since these noodles move through your digestive system very slowly, they make you feel full for longer. In addition, the viscous fiber functions as a prebiotic and nourishes the bacteria living in your colon.
