J-Basket Dried Buckwheat Soba Noodles, 25.40 Ounce - PACK OF 2

and if, like me, you are deathly allergic to wheat, I have no reaction to these buckwheat noodle at all. They are a high simple carb food, so they will raise your sugar, but leave me with no regrets, better than gluten free breads, even. Just be sure, whatever buckwheat product you use, that there is no wheat flour added. , like this brand.

Over the years, some 15 years, of traveling to Japan on business, I developed a taste for soba noodles prepared for breakfast. These are very good, now that I am not traveling there annually, so I ordered and these pass the test. Easy to prepare, and excellent directions on the package.

A MUST have for noodle salad - cannot sub any other type of noodle. Neighbor keeps clamoring for more!

I usually purchase Hana brand Yamaimo noodles but thought I'd try the cheaper alternative. I found the texture on this noodle quite grainy and not very chewy. There was a stale cardboard like smell when uncooked which lingers even after cooking. I wish I didn't have two packages to finish. I don't recommend this product.

The ingredients.

Outrageously high sodium. How did I miss that when ordering? And label and ad very careful not to reveal wheat, not buckwheat, is first ingredient. Good flavor and versatility but will not buy again.

I'm really upset that I just realized after finishing this bag that this product contains wheat - something I'm trying to avoid. Nothing in this listing mentions wheat and I feel it is very misleading.

Was stunned to see the sodium content on the package.
