Bulk Diet Rice, 200 g, Packaging May Vary

I'm currently on a calorie deficit, I wanted to try this rice due to the low calories and the price (£0.89 at time of writing this review) The shelf life is 6 months which is probably a reflection for the price. Packaging has cooking instructions but I just treated it like normal rice. Heated it in a pan with about 2 tablespoons of water alongside some frozen vegetables, once that came to a boil I threw in 2 eggs, some garlic powder, onion powder and soy sauce. The rice absorbed some of the flavour but it was quite tasteless on it's own, I felt using some sort of sauce would benefit the taste but the way I prepared it was great as the vegetables and egg were flavourful enough and kept the calories low while adding protein. The texture is similar to little pieces of jelly but slightly tougher, I didn't notice any scent after opening. It isn't a carbon copy of rice, but is a great replacement especially for diets. Based on my experience I'll be buying more of this and I can see it being not only great as I prepared it above, but also a great addition to soups to make them more filling for anyone else in a calorie deficit.

Yes it looks weird and honestly tasteless but, you have to try it yourself. I was very surprised and impressed with this rice it's 20 cals and a huge 5.6g fibre per packet. Extremely tasteless but when you add them to a sauce they are just like rice. They bulked my small sweet and sour meal out nicely so extremely filling!. half a packet was definitly enough. I've seen they taste like wallpaper paste etc... in reviews but please give them a go! My brother is type 2 diabetic so perfect as 0 carbs. I've now got the Bulk noodles and pasta to try. I hope they are just as good.

Absolutely vile. Texture of raw gelatine and rubber. Followed instructions and even left for longer once I realised they weren’t softening. Totally gross and not worth the low calorie benefit.

Mix with veg, soup etc. great for a no-carb diet.

Definitely not for me. The texture is as disgusting as it looks even in stir fries or soups. It’s not particularly filling, tasteless, absorbs no flavour and to be honest serves no purpose. I would give it a miss. It’s not worth the extra few minutes preparation time. On a plus it has no smell like the other konjac products I have tried previously. It reminds me of tiny boba balls and looks like some kind of bug eggs. Nothing about this is rice like to me

I think preperation matters a lot with these, I fried them for a while in avocado oil when preparing which resulted in something very similar to rice. If you don't fry them, or don't fry them long enough they can be a bit squishy. For those complaining about the lack of taste, that's what spices are for... I added soy sauce, dried thyme and garlic and the result was extremely delicious.

Tastes very plastic slime But I’m no expert on cooking. I only got these because I needed something filling and low calorie but yikes not these Just get a Koo Lee noodle it’s 79kcal and tastes good

Good for calorie control, and a reasonable texture rice. Good value for money.
