Tapicoa Stick

[dbdb]

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.

I didn't notice any unusual swing after having (a lot) of them. Will have to test further...

Tapioca pudding is wonderful!!! Of course off limits for me now. But wonderful!

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?
