Low Carb ramen?! Yes, there is such a thing, and you can make it at home with what is being lauded as the next “IT” super food: Kelp. Low calorie, fat free, zero carbs, gluten free, no sodium kelp noodles!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Before you say Ewwwww<\/em>, let me tell you that kelp noodles taste much like rice noodles but without the carbs because they are plant-based. You’ve probably had rice noodles in an Asian salad or Vietnamese vermicelli bowl – love those!! Ramen is all the rage – I mean, who doesn’t love a bowl of steaming noodles? – just like chicken soup, it is food for the soul that helps to heal whatever may be ailing you. On gray, chilly or rainy days, ramen is a craving I can’t resist. Steamy, salty, savory, spicy, sinus-clearing goodness. The only issue is the number of carb calories in that glorious bowl, plus, the amount of sodium is through the roof. I think I’ve discovered the answer:\u00a0Gold Mine Natural Foods Kelp Noodles.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Known as wakame,\u00a0arame, kelp, hijiki, seaweed is a staple ingredient in Japanese\u00a0cooking and is prized for its salty, umami character in the culinary\u00a0world. It is also on its way to becoming the next “It” superfood<\/a>. I mean, haven’t\u00a0we had enough of kale already?! Kale is everywhere, being\u00a0massaged, baked, blended, juiced, souped and saut\u00e9ed and this\u00a0leafy green nutrient-dense food is sure to have to share the spotlight soon. I still love kale in all its embodiments, but my husband cringes at the word. He’s had enough of kale, and Hatch Chiles *wink*.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
