Miracle Rice...
It's made from konjac, for keto/low carb stuff. I think it's called miracle rice because the main/parent brand is miracle noodle.
The label for the bag I found says "plant based rice style" for the record, so in other words they just wanna reassure that it's still plant based despite being made from weird shit.
This is 0 carb. Pretty cool product. Terrible slogan.
In Murica we only eat beef-based rice! What’s next? Plant-based beer?
You make a joke, but in fact many beers and wines aren't vegan.
Most of the big name beers here are actually vegan. Regardless of what your feelings are on American beer, they're mostly vegan friendly.
This is largely because of the traditional use of fish-based finings (isinglass) which clarify yeast from beer. Just about any keg beer, including small batch and craft, won't use this any more, its not needed or effective. And for bottled and cask conditioned beers/ales the price and effectiveness of vegan finings has gone down and up respectively quite a bit in the past few years, so non-vegan beers are definitely in the minority. Even in the UK (where cask is far more common).
No idea about wine though.
I knew I was doing the ethical thing by sticking to liquor!
plant-based soy
Stay clear of Soylent Green
We switched to cauliflower rice a while ago and it is pretty good actually
And super easy. Just cut the green off and throw the white part in the food processor, fry it up in little bit of oil or butter for 3-4min done. (Coconut oil the best)
It's from the rice processing plant.
Not the plant you think, though.
Is it poison ivy? Mandrake? Fly agaric mushroom?
That last one is pretty good when filtered through the piss of a thrall, or so my ancestors claim 😉
I didn't really care for those mushrooms. They just made me very, very sweaty.
fuck jontron, nazi filth
As someone who's keto, I haven't tried Konjac Rice (what this product actually is), but I have tried Konjac Spaghetti and Fettuccine, and I can safelty say, its stupidly easy to make. Just rinse, stir fry the water out, and then add flavors (meats, sauce, veggies, etc). A single bag of these can make a very filling meal.
Lots of things make filling meals how does it actually taste?
Super late on this one, the original taste is very bland??? More like, you're expected to add the flavor yourself. I typically piggyback on the fat of whatever meat Im using, otherwise some ~Adobo
i didnt know that you can shot dead a grain of rice
Gotta use buckshot. Many pellets for many targets.
Please tell me this isn’t a real product.
yeah it's made from konjac, i think it's mainly for people who want to eat as little calories as possible
Ohhh so that's why... So the rice actually does do something? But I think the marketer who designed this needs to be sent back to high school to retake biology or sth
The marketing is intentional. It's intentional use of buzzwords for search engine optimization, as well as for, you know, stupid people.
Suppose if you left out the "plant based" part on a site where this is sold, then anyone searching "plant based snacks" might not get this as a result.
I'm overly simplifying, but I hope you get what I'm saying.
There are also a couple of reasons why someone might want to use a substitute for rice.
Growing rice is very water intensive. Rice contains traces of arsenic. And of course it's full of carbohydrates.
The packaging is marketing and uses the same plant-based stick that is conflated with healthy food.
Or they're constipated...
Konjac is supposed to help with cholesterol and acne too.
But mainly constipation.
"Grain Free Made from the Konjac plant eaten in Asia for over 1,000 years"
So, it's not rice?
It really is! I've actually held a package. I can't remember if rice was even an ingredient.
It is most likely real, and it falls in line with gluten free vodka. What people are unwilling to look up, marketers are able to exploit as an "edge".
Every bit organic...
Yes good example. I will say, apprently the rice in the OP does serve a purpose beyond "plant free rice", but the label seems to hit off the mark. I feel like the actual marketing opportunity would be low calorie or digestive aide rice based on several other comments.
Gluten free!
A true miracle.
