Palmini Linguine Pasta | Low-Carb Pasta, Low-Calorie Hearts of Palm Pasta | Keto, Gluten Free, Vegan, Non-GMO, Plant Based, Healthy Noodles | Seen on Shark Tank |(12 Ounce - Pack of 1)

Our daughter is vegan and wants to limit processed carbs so we try to cook plant-based pasta dishes she can eat, and ideally us as well. We have tried several in the past which she mostly hated because often times they wouldn't hold their shape, would be gummy, taste funny, were mushy, or super hard at the other end of the spectrum. And I can cook all kinds of dishes, so I'm aware of lengths of time to boil and how to check if done. These required a little tweaking if you don't want too hard of a noodle with a little crunch - they remind me of the consistency of bamboo shoots found in many Asian dishes. I was a little worried if I boiled too long, they would become too soft, but I soon discovered it would be hard to cause that to happen even if you tried. You can boil these a long time and they remain firm. So I boiled them about 7 minutes, and I think they could have gone a little longer like 10 minutes easily. I would have liked them a little softer, but as part of a vegetarian, vegan, or any meal these can work really well. They only make about 2 small servings, but I was happy to see that they are responsibly harvested so both a healthy and sustainable option. In the photo I attached, I boiled them with some mushrooms just to kill two birds with one stone, took the photo without the other ingredients so you could see the noodles well, and then I added a homemade pasta sauce with tomatoes, herbs, and garlic (added cheese for my serving) and the dish turned out delicious. This is definitely a good viable plant-based substitute for typical high-carb glutenous pasta.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I love Palmini. I use it in place of my starches (linguine, lazagna/spaghetti noodles and rice). I usually rinse then fry it in olive oil and garlic. I tried boiling it but don't feel it cooks it well enough. Plus I like the garlicky favor with them. Palmini I feel is better for you without all the fat, carbs and cholesterol.

What I like is quick to heat up and you can add whatever protein or sauce you want in a flash, and provides fiber. What I don't like is having to rinse the palmini multiple times before using.

Wish I could give it zero stars.The taste is awful and the texture is nothing like real pasta.Let’s be honest — people buy this because they’re craving pasta while wanting to keep low-carb and low calorie. If you're hoping this will satisfy a pasta craving, you'll be sorely disappointed. It’s more like eating some half-crunchy vegetable strip than anything remotely resembling noodles.Definitely will not recommend.

I was disappointed with this product, as well as the angel hair. I have used in the past and really liked them, however this order all of the items were so mushy it was just not even good. Not what I have received in the past. I do not know if they have changed something, or what, but I am not sure I will order again.

This product is perfect! I’m an aldente almost raw pasta fan. This product is perfect! It’s truly like linguini and remains pretty firm after cooking for a while. Sauté up some garlic, fresh tomatoes and EVOO. Let everything cook to your liking. While cooking rinse the palm and toss it in. Absolutely delicious!

I was pleasantly surprised! It didn’t taste weird or anything like that, it tasted like real linguini to me. I couldn’t tell the difference, I like the firmness (al dente) it doesn’t fall apart in the sauce. Will purchase again.

Excellent!
