Kelp noodles are a raw revelation – they look like noodles and taste like noodles but are made from seaweed. (But without the seaweed flavor!) This means they are a great way to eat your sea veggies. And as an added bonus, they are practically calorie and carb free! The noodles absorb any sauce you put on them, creating the perfect canvas for countless preparations. The sauce is also delicious as a salad dressing. You’ll find the soy lecithin at natural foods stores. Use it for a smoother texture.<\/span><\/p>\n
