Miracle Rice…
It’s made from konjac, for keto/low carb stuff. I think it’s called miracle rice because the main/parent brand is miracle noodle.
The label for the bag I found says “plant based rice style” for the record, so in other words they just wanna reassure that it’s still plant based despite being made from weird shit.
that stuff is going be linked to a lot of pancreas cancer soon. how does it not rot its almost all water and just sits on shelves for Years
You could say the same about microwavable rice.
This is 0 carb. Pretty cool product. Terrible slogan.
In Murica we only eat beef-based rice! What’s next? Plant-based beer?
You make a joke, but in fact many beers and wines aren’t vegan.
Most of the big name beers here are actually vegan. Regardless of what your feelings are on American beer, they’re mostly vegan friendly.
how is yeast vegan? its an animal of the animal kindom 🧐
Hand sanitizer must not be vegan then, since it kills all those poor wittle germs 🥺
This is largely because of the traditional use of fish-based finings (isinglass) which clarify yeast from beer. Just about any keg beer, including small batch and craft, won’t use this any more, its not needed or effective. And for bottled and cask conditioned beers/ales the price and effectiveness of vegan finings has gone down and up respectively quite a bit in the past few years, so non-vegan beers are definitely in the minority. Even in the UK (where cask is far more common).
No idea about wine though.
yeazt is a protist and a member of the ANIMAL KINGDOM
VEGANS ARE FAKERS VEGETRAIAN GANG GANG
Yeast are eukayotes part of the fungal kingdom you dolt. Although looking at the rest of your comments in this thread, it’s clear you’re just acting in bad faith for some reason.
I knew I was doing the ethical thing by sticking to liquor!
That’s because vegan rules are ridiculously draconian. Vegan or not, all beer and wine is plant-based.
No, some are made by fining with animal products like isinglass (fish based) or gelatin (usually pig based)
@whenigrowup356 @Viking_Hippie, only wines from carafe, brick or that have a screw cap that are available for €0.90 in the supermarket, these sometimes even contain wine.
Plant based ≠ 100% plant matter. Your absolutism is ridiculous and reminiscent of racist “one drop” policies.
That’s like saying a burger is plant based since the patty and cheese are the only non-plant based parts. That’s ridiculous and just not what the word plant-based means.
No it isn’t. Plant-based means based on plants, which a beer is and a burger isn’t.
Movies and TV shows can be based on a true story without being documentaries,. It’s the same thing with plant-based food that isn’t 100% vegan.
Language is interesting in this way. Same words in different contexts mean different things.
“Based on true events” = “Contains traces of what actually happened”
“Plant based” = “Does not contain animal products but can contain mushrooms even though they are not plants”
Wtf else could it possibly mean dude? I’m not even vegan but that’s exactly what I’d expect. Plant based is a meaningless term if you can throw animal parts in and still call it plant based.
There are more than just plants and animals. Mushrooms are neither plant nor animal. Fungi are their own classification
Although there are beers with lactose added (eg milkshake ipas have it for texture and taste), but those are an exception of course.
And still plant based. The lactose is an added ingredient, not one of the things that the whole thing is based on.
I suppose with this logic cheap sausage is also plant-based
No. Sausage consists mainly of meat byproducts, not plants.
Mental gymnastics
you mean ignorant
plant-based soy
Stay clear of Soylent Green
We switched to cauliflower rice a while ago and it is pretty good actually
And super easy. Just cut the green off and throw the white part in the food processor, fry it up in little bit of oil or butter for 3-4min done. (Coconut oil the best)
Not the plant you think, though.
Is it poison ivy? Mandrake? Fly agaric mushroom?
That last one is pretty good when filtered through the piss of a thrall, or so my ancestors claim 😉
I didn’t really care for those mushrooms. They just made me very, very sweaty.
It’s from the rice processing plant.
i didnt know that you can shot dead a grain of rice
Gotta use buckshot. Many pellets for many targets.
As someone who’s keto, I haven’t tried Konjac Rice (what this product actually is), but I have tried Konjac Spaghetti and Fettuccine, and I can safelty say, its stupidly easy to make. Just rinse, stir fry the water out, and then add flavors (meats, sauce, veggies, etc). A single bag of these can make a very filling meal.
Lots of things make filling meals how does it actually taste?
Super late on this one, the original taste is very bland??? More like, you’re expected to add the flavor yourself. I typically piggyback on the fat of whatever meat Im using, otherwise some ~Adobo
fuck jontron, nazi filth
Gluten free!
Please tell me this isn’t a real product.
yeah it’s made from konjac, i think it’s mainly for people who want to eat as little calories as possible
Ohhh so that’s why… So the rice actually does do something? But I think the marketer who designed this needs to be sent back to high school to retake biology or sth
The marketing is intentional. It’s intentional use of buzzwords for search engine optimization, as well as for, you know, stupid people.
Suppose if you left out the “plant based” part on a site where this is sold, then anyone searching “plant based snacks” might not get this as a result.
I’m overly simplifying, but I hope you get what I’m saying.
There are also a couple of reasons why someone might want to use a substitute for rice.
Growing rice is very water intensive. Rice contains traces of arsenic. And of course it’s full of carbohydrates.
The packaging is marketing and uses the same plant-based stick that is conflated with healthy food.
Or they’re constipated…
Konjac is supposed to help with cholesterol and acne too.
But mainly constipation.
“Grain Free Made from the Konjac plant eaten in Asia for over 1,000 years”
So, it’s not rice?
It really is! I’ve actually held a package. I can’t remember if rice was even an ingredient.
It is most likely real, and it falls in line with gluten free vodka. What people are unwilling to look up, marketers are able to exploit as an “edge”.
Every bit organic…
Yes good example. I will say, apprently the rice in the OP does serve a purpose beyond “plant free rice”, but the label seems to hit off the mark. I feel like the actual marketing opportunity would be low calorie or digestive aide rice based on several other comments.
A true miracle.
😳😳😳😳😳 vegans hate this implication
Are these vegan extremists going insane?
Don’t you think that vegans know, that rice is a plant? That marketing is not aimed at us.
vegans hate this one simple question 🙋
