| | | Tapicoa Stick
We got some Vietnamese noodles that are labeled "Tapioca Stick".
9g carbs per serving, and a serving is a good size. Anyone know anything about these? Seemed very good, and low carb.
How can that be? |

| | | No idea ... tapioca is mostly starch! Maybe it is resistant starch, but I never heard it is good? Good luck!

| | | You can be our guinea pig, db. Please let us know how your numbers do after a meal of them. It would be great if they work, but I am sometimes suspicious of listed nutrition facts.

| | | I buy a lot of imported foods, and I am suspicious of the nutrition labeling, too, Sumi!
I think I posted about the black beans I found at a Korean grocery -- could not tell if they were the American variety, which are high-carb, or actually the Asian black soy beans. The nutrition information varied hugely, by brand (and this wasfor unseasoned, plain dried beans, so it should not have!). I ended up not buying any.

| | | Depending on your tolerance for carbs, you might like Kozy Shack's No Sugar Added Tapioca: 11 grams of carbs (4 of them fiber). It has 5 grams of sugar, from the milk. Ingredients: milk, tapioca, inulin (natural chicory root extract), water, egg whites, modified tapioca starch, natural vanilla flavors, salt, sucralose.
I eat it, very occasionally, if I'm really jonesing for some tapioca pudding. I don't buy it very often because I'll eat one of the four little cups in the package, and forget about it in the fridge until the others are way past date.

| | | These Tapicoa Sticks are the name for noodles for Vietnamese soup.
They seem to be low carb!!! Very little effect on me.
Now maybe someone else will try some? |
