Organic Buckwheat Ramen, 10.5oz, 100% buckwheat, Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Vegan (1)

These noodles have helped me make healthier and better-tasting meal substitutions as I've been experimenting with Ramen at home! It started with a Korean food truck where I tried bibimbap and Korean Sweet Potato glass noodles, and then I started looking for non-wheat Ramen noodles in general on Amazon (as well as how to make simple bibimbap). I've been trying out different ways to have simple Ramen at home, and these buckwheat noodles have been great for this, as well as the O-Food Korean Sweet Potato Glass Noodles (also on Amazon), and Lotus Foods brown rice noodles (also on Amazon). These buckwheat noodles are not made of the usual wheat, so it's a nice option for better glycemic control as well as gluten-free. The buckwheat also includes a really nice health ingredient D-chiro-inositol, which has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels. The noodles have so far tasted great and provide a really great tasting and healthy meal idea, especially when put together within a whole nutritionally balanced meal such as with lots of veggies on top and/or protein. No carb crash! And less weight gain! And tastes great! A suggestion for a way I've been trying these has been combining simple bibimbap-type of steamed veggies on top (or any microwave-in-bag stir-fry veggies or other veggies), tossed with even just simple sesame oil (can add rice vinegar too), salt, and garlic powder. You can also use any easily found stir-fry sauce bottle from grocery store such as Thai sweet red chili sauce or others, or maybe some K. bbq sauce, or simple bibimbap sauce. Then add tofu or meat, egg, etc as well if you want. Or kimchi with bibimbap! Additionally, the Koyo reduced-sodium ramen packages (also here on Amazon) have really great-tasting, low-sodium seasoning packages that I've been combining with these other non-wheat noodles mentioned above. These Lotus noodles make for a great Ramen experience at home, and are a good plant-based and nutritionally balanced meal for health too, as well as diabetes / gluten-sensitivity friendly! I would definitely recommend!!

I grew up in Hawaii and alot of my great friends invited me to eat at their house to eat. This reminds me if the special times with the family and friends because noodles and rice was the main food because of how high food is at the store. This product is so good

I functional dyspepsia, related to GERD, I literally didn’t eat for two months because of the burning pain in my throat, nose and eyes! I’m finally able to eat due to medications. I tried to eat several types of noodles with buckwheat but I just couldn’t tolerate it. These are the only noodles I can tolerate! Thank you!

Buckwheat flour usually doesnt have a strong flavor if its not toasted. These had a very strong flavor

Literally the best gluten free noodle I’ve ever had & I’ve tried MANY. Cook separately, and then add to your dish. We made a clear soup with chicken and added ramen. It was phenomenal!! My family isn’t gluten free, just me - and they loved these!

As with any 100% buckwheat noodle, they're going to give off a lot of starch. That's okay if you first cook them alone and rinse them in a strainer before adding them to the main pot or dish. But if you don't your ramen broth will be very thick to the point of goopy and you prbably won't like it. So remember - cook alone, rinse, add to main pot or dish. Also don't expect them to taste like regular ramen noodles made of wheat or rice flour. They won't. They'll taste like buckwheat.

This is so delicious. I'm going to buy more!

Not a great texture. Very soft and slimy. The noodles are long at first but they break apart very easily and become much smaller. They have a very pungent odor and overpower flavor. I do not like the taste at all and it’s so strong that it over powers the flavor of the chicken ramen soup seasoning I made it with. I even undercooked the noodles, drained the original water, and put it in with the soup base for a couple of minutes and it still left such a strong taste and odor. Not worth it
