Dee H. Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I don't find bean threads anywhere. Can I have them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee H. Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 I still do not see bean thread listed there. So are you telling me that if they are made from yam starch or cassava starch they are OK. Just not if made from mung bean starch or potato starch? Really, it's kind of confusing because bean threads are on many gluten free menus. Thanks.

GFChris Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 I guess I would put these in a similar category as making "zoodles" out of zucchini, which is ok on a Whole30.If they are made from only yam or cassava, you're fine. However, if they're made from mung bean, green peas or potato starch (or contain any other non-compliant Whole30 ingredient), that would be a no, as none of those ingredients are allowed on a Whole30.

Robin Strathdee Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Also, they're not a very nutritious option, so we'd always encourage you to use something like zucchini noodles instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It taste the same as the mung bean thread but it is chewier and thicker? https://www.walmart.com/ip/assi-Sweet-Potato-Noodles-Jangteo-12-Ounce/830249119?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=4657&adid=22222222227096709342&wmlspartner=wmtlabs&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=214134540175&wl4=pla-344557803782&wl5=9032807&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=113734502&wl11=online&wl12=830249119&wl13=&veh=sem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Just make sweet potato noodles from a sweet potato and a spiralizer. Not some mixture of starches extruded into a "noodle". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
