IN PRAISE OF KELP NOODLES

If you’re looking to fill up on fewer calories, check out the devil’s pasta: kelp noodles. The backstory was outlined in a deleted scene from The Little Mermaid—an anthropomorphic young sea kelp waited at underwater crossroads at midnight to make a deal with the devil, exchanging her eternal soul for fame and zero calories. I’m not making this up—kelp noodles bulk up your salad without adding ANY calories. Just don’t get hung up on the “noodles” bit. They don’t taste like noodles. They don’t taste like anything really, just a little salty and crunchy (like the people who enjoy them).
