shirataki noodles??

[farmermama]

Is there a brand of shirataki noodles that is Whole30 compatible? I am hoping to try pad thai. I have zucchini that I can make into zoodles. Just wondered of the shirataki noodles were an option?  I've never had them before.

and another question....canned bean sprouts?? They have ascorbic acid and citric acid. I can't find fresh bean sprouts from the stores I do grocery pick-up with.

Shirataki noodles are a no. If you spiralize a vegetable into a noodle shape, like zoodles, you're good, but the shirataki noodles are dried and ground into flour and then reconstituted into noodle shape, so they fall under the no making pasta from alternate flours rule.

Both ascorbic acid and citric acid are fine, so those bean sprouts are fine. I'm not sure what the texture on canned ones are like, but if you want something with a little crispness, you could try broccoli slaw or julienned carrots instead.

I thought the bean sprouts fell under the Legumes heading since bean sprouts are sprouted Mung beans. Am I wrong?

• Do not eat most forms of legumes. This includes beans (black, red, pinto, navy, garbanzo/chickpeas, white, kidney, lima, fava, cannellini, lentils, adzuki, mung, cranberry, and black-eyes peas); peanuts (including peanut butter or peanut oil); and all forms of soy (soy sauce, miso, tofu, tempeh, edamame, soy protein, soy milk, or soy lecithin).

Check out the Can I Have list:  https://whole30.com/the-official-can-i-have-guide-to-the-whole30/ -- the entry for bean sprouts says:

Bean Sprouts: Yes 

The plant part of the bean is fine to eat. The problematic compounds are found in the seed (bean) itself.
