Hit or miss
Not bad but not a good match for us. I'd recommend trying the smallest bag for a trial if you are going to get this.

It cooks nice
I wanted to give this a try and see if I can notice any flavor difference. It cooked well for me and seems to taste pretty good. I just like to eat a little bit of it or mix it in with some vegetables. I would recommend it as a rice substitute.

Bitter tasting, chemical smell
Disgusting!! Bitter tasting, chemical smell. I’m very familiar with dried Konjac rice; there’s something wrong with this brand. Demand a refund.

We really like it! It blends well with rice and helps cut some carbs and sugar.
My partner needs to watch his sugar and carbs due to diabetes and we've been liking this as an add-in to our regular rice. I typically make 2 cups of uncooked rice at a time, but with this I make 1 1/2 cups of regular rice with 1/2 cup of this added in and we enjoy the texture and flavor. I rinse the rice like usual and then I add this to the rice cooker and add the amount of water needed for the rice (3 cups of water when I make 1 1/2 cups of rice with 1/2 cup of this), then I stir it with a rice paddle and start the rice cooker like normal. I like the flavor and texture of this and my partner and housemate did not notice the difference in the rice until I told them that I had added this in.

This is worse than rice
Honestly, it’s a scam. It says it’s low calorie and low carb, but it has 49g of carbs PER SERVING. First ingredient is tapioca starch. And it’s 35 dollars for a product that is not even what it is advertised as. Dissapointed.

Super expensive! What is the point of this?
I love rice. I mean, I make it several times a week in my rice cooker, so when I saw this "rice," I was excited to try it. I thought, "wow, this stuff must be really good for 35 dollars a bag!" Well, it is, sort of. I followed the package directions, and mixed this 50-50 with my regular white rice in the rice cooker. The result was a bowl of white rice. When eating it, I could not distinguish between this rice and the regular white rice. So, it tastes just like white rice. But what is the point of this? I understand this is made from potatoes, and is not actually "rice." Is it healthier than regular white rice? You can decide that for yourself, but here's a comparison on the nutritional values of this vs. my regular white rice: ***** Calories per serving: Regular rice, 160; ZenRice, 207. ***** Cholesterol per serving: Regular rice, O; ZenRice, O. ***** Sodium per serving: Regular rice, 0; ZenRice, 47 mg. ***** Fat per serving: Regular rice, 0; ZenRice, 0. ***** Total Carbohydrate per serving: Regular rice, 36 Grams (no added sugar); ZenRice, 49 Grams (no added sugar). I just don't see the nutritional advantage to this over just regular white rice. I will continue to add it to my regular rice when cooking, to stretch it out a bit, but I would not buy this product again for this price. Three stars.
