Review: Great product for making keto pasta with no carbohydrates - I was amazed while making keto pasta (recipe by serious keto). The pasta, made with 5 ounces of canned white chicken looks and tasted like angel hair spaghetti. My son was also amazed when he tasted the pasta. He said “you really got something here!” He wants to learn how to make it himself. This stuff is really like the real thing, amazing. I am a diabetic with celiac disease and have tried many pasta replacements, and have given up on having pasta, which is a favorite of mine, until now. Please check out this keto noodle, you will not regret it!

I used this as a gelling agent for a homemade bath bomb and it worked excellently. It thickened the bathwater into a really nice moisturizing jelly
