Kelp Noodles are a sea vegetable in the form of an easy to eat noodle. Made of only kelp (a sea vegetable), sodium alginate (sodium salt extracted from a brown seaweed), and water, Kelp Noodles are fat-free, gluten-free, and very low in carbohydrates and calories. Their noodle form and neutral taste allow for a variety of uses including salads, stir-fries, hot broths, and casseroles, while their healthful content provides a rich source of trace minerals including iodine, which kelp is well known for. Their unique texture completes the package, making Kelp Noodles a one-of-a-kind healthful and tasty alternative to pasta and rice noodles. Best of all, no cooking is required. Just rinse and add the noodles to any dish and they are ready to eat!

Person who posted about it said they're going to become a new staple in her house, she loves them. She found them at Whole Foods.

Oh, nearly forgot. Some of the people there are making noodles out of celery too. It sounded like an interesting concept. http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=35819

There was no kelp smell! In fact, it really had no smell at all. I stuck my nose inside of the bag trying to get some smell but there really wasnt any

Someone after my own heart! This is a quote from one of the posts about the kelp noodles on the lowcarb forum.

I'm interested in trying these. Wonder what the sodium alginate content is. Have been trying to get my hands on food grade or USP sodium alginate, which is used in Japan for "gentle detox", helping to bind heavy metals out of the body.

My local whole foods doesn't have the kelp noodles, they have sea vegetables by that company, but not the noodles. Hnmmm.... well, I'll have to try some other stores. I did get some sirataki noodles (yam flour).

Well, I sure don't have kelp noodles available locally, but I've got some dried kelp I bought at a chinese store in Memphis. I may try soaking the kelp, blending it to a slurry, and add it to an rice noodles recipe in place of some of the liquid to make my own noodles. The noodles wouldn't be only kelp, but I bet they would have a good taste. If my experiment turns out, I'll post the recipe.
