Shirataki are a kind of thin, clear noodle made with plant fiber and water instead of flour. These noodles are touted as a multi-purpose diet food since they have zero calories, zero fat and less than a single carb per serving. In "The 5-Factor World Diet," Harley Pasternak and Laura Moser note that shirataki noodles are made from the konjak plant, a plant whose fibers contain glucomannan. Glucomannan is a form of dietary fiber that's water-soluble, making shirataki noodles a healthy addition to virtually any diet, whether your focus is low carbs, low calories or low fat.
