NEW! Palmini Pouch VARIETY PACK | Linguine | Angel Hair | Lasagna | Rice | Mashed | 4g of Carbs | As Seen On Shark Tank | Gluten Free (12 Ounce)

If you are looking for a healthier substitute for pasta, this is a great option. It is definitely not pasta but I have learned to love it.

These are awesome!!! They are a perfect substitute for pasta. We use them for spaghetti, alfredo, soups. Easy to use, rinse and add to sauce, no cook time needed. Low carb and they hold the taste of the sauce unlike miracle noodles. A tad more dense then regular linguini but it isn't bad at all. My husband likes his noodles el dante anyways. LOVE anything Palmini, such a fan!!!!

First, the Bad: the mashed palmini. The sour smell and flavor (they use citric acid as a preservative) isn't something you can wash away. They're not given to fluffiness like that picture they show with the meatballs. They are much more on the goopy side. Since we can't rinse the sourness away, expect to season the heck out of them to try to hide it. If you're looking to sub out potatoes for something low-carb, you may want to stick to cauliflower.Also, they are expensive for what you're getting. Not horribly so, but it's a lot when you consider that most of the original carby starchy foods we've traded away were so affordable in comparison. It's never fun when subs for what were affordable staples relegate common meals to 'treats', especially when it's not ever gonna be a true dupe in terms of experience.Next, the Fair Warning: You may experience some loss when draining the riced stuff depending on your strainer. You may want to use a mesh strainer versus the usual plastic pasta one. You're also not gonna get the consistency of rice in terms of size, which may bother some folks, but they do get fairly close.Also, while the sour citric-acid smell and taste are awful in and of itself, it is largely mitigated by a good solid rinse (which to be fair are in its instructions), and the noodles and riced palmini does actually do well with absorbing seasonings and other flavors. You have to do a LOT of rinsing, I found, but if you do this, you will get them to a point where there's almost no trace of it. The more you rinse the better the outcome. This coming from someone who is quite sensitive to taste. Sauces are good with them, just make sure you've done your due diligence with drying off after rinsing. It's a bit of work but it's rewarding.The Good: As far as low-carb noodle substitutes go, these are among the best I've had. The citric acid does wash away. They do absorb flavors well. Sauces play nice with them. The 'bite' is adjustable with a little extra cook time, if you wish. As with all keto-friendly and low-carb substitutes, they're never gonna fully emulate the real thing. Go into it with tempered expectations and you'll come out with an overall positive experience.Recommendations for the company: If the mash was something that could be dried and powdered so that have people could reconstitute it with water or liquid of choice, that would remove the need for the preservative and let people customize the moisture content. The current iteration of the mash is goopy, and we can do nothing to remove the sourness of it. It's much more bothersome and time-consuming to have to let an overly moist food cook down versus just being able to add moisture as you go. Obviously this isn't a potato and may not work the same when desiccated, but I hope this option is something you are willing to explore. Especially if it could lead to a more affordable bulk product among your lineup. Sign me up to try this if you ever release such a thing.

I didn't like the taste even after rinsing. Mixed in a sauce it was okay.Carb content great.

Soo easy to cook

One of them was leaking and covered in mold. I threw them all away. I keep washing my hands, but I think they will always smell like a rotting palm tree. I think this is the first non-returnable item I've ever bought, and that sucks. Also, it was going to be my dinner, but now I may never eat again.

Really love this.

These are so wonderful and filling. The more creative you are, the better THEY are 👌🏽
