Trident Organic Black Bean Noodles

Our daughter in law cooked these up for us as part of an asian fusion meal, the were reasonably tasty with the sauce, but a bit bland without. I will buy them again to try with something else.

I don’t think I cooked these right so they turned out really dry

Didn’t really like this. The recipe on the package was really good though & made it edible. Wouldn’t buy again based on price & taste.

I like that they are organic and healthy but the overall flavour was quite bland, even with everything I added to it.

These were really unpleasant very dry and tasteless texture. Nit something I would have again

These were really unpleasant very dry and tasteless texture.

Was definitely not a fan - Texture was really strange

Not bad I had it with fried tofu and veges

I found this a hard product to use as not used to cooking noodles. A few recipe suggestions would be awesome.

is very different to what I would normally use but for a healtier option was good not alot of flavour but very filling

is very different to what I would normally use but for a healtier option was good not alot of flavour but very filling

I have never tried cooking with noodles, but I would do it again. This was a lovely change to meals

Wouldn't purchase

easy to prepare but the texture is so different that it would take a bit of getting used to. Keen to try them again

I liked this and i will definitely buy again

Need more recipe suggestions on how to use this product.

Sorry just couldn't enjoy these. Maybe served differently? Who knows

Great healthy alternative, outdoor be nice if it come with a little recipe book attached as it’s not something I would normally buy

Interesting taste; the flavour is a bit different to what I'm used to but I would happily try it again and experiment with different ingredients to come up with a preferred way of preparing it.

Not very nice, flavour too strong for my liking.

Variety is good.......quite black......do use soba noodles

Fantastic product. I wish it could be bought in a larger size i.e. a family meal size

These noodles felt much healthier than usual.

Great alternative to regular noodles

n/a

convenient packaging

this was something new but I really like the nutty taste and would buy these again

Product was ok

Flavour quite strong, the family preferred their noodles to be less flavoursome

Bulked out the stir-fry but added a bit of a funny flavour and texture

not the best texture, no flavour

Unusual colour for noodles but extremely tasty and healthy.

Not a fan with the kids unfortunately.

odd texture and flavour

tasty in soup, but would be good as a meal base too

Not to my taste, but others in my family enjoyed them.

Sadly was not a fan of these.

Not sure how to make these things sing on the plate...more instruction was needed with ideas

Did not like the flavour or texture

Great to have in the cupboard!

my daughter loved this one as its gluten free used it in placeof her usual noodles in a chicken stirfry

Family did not like the texture

Pleasantly surprised with these, cooked quick, delicious pan fried with carrot, onion, capsicum and garlic

Didn't like this product. Flavour and texture did not appeal.

not something i would normally use

ok, but not a family fav especially not with the kids

Not used to this kind of product

Did not like this at all

Great heathier option

Nutritious and delicious plus versatile

I was unable to try as not sure how to use and family probably wouldn't like

I was unable to try as not sure how to use and family probably wouldn't like

Liked this a lot, the serving is a bit small for a family of 5, would need to purchase additional packs to make a full meal for a family. Was very nice though

My partner has recently stopped eating gluten and loved these.

not for us

Tasty and healthy.

Black noddles are really my thing but they tasted fine in the salad I used them for

Loved the way the noodles maintained their structure even after cooking and being in a dressed salad. Really boosted the protein value to my Asian style salad and helped fill us up... meant we only needed one side to go with our steak!

nice tasting organic noodles

Nice product would use again

Rating only as we probably did not pair it with food that we should have~!

Gave to a friend - had a sample before and did not enjoy.

Strange...

Add a really nice flair to a meal.

Not a fan, didn't like taste or the texture.

Not my cuppa tea but I have a really bland and boring palate.

Yummy and healthy! I tried this product with a stirfry (Beef and veges). It went together very well and made quite the impact with the family (who would normally prefer white noodles). Will re-purchase.

Good tasting noodles. I liked that they are a heathier option.

Made for a nice Asian salad!

Not my cuppa tea but I have a really bland and boring palate.

Nice when mixed with other flavours. A bit bland alone.

Love these noodles

I was excited to try this, but maybe my cooking haven’t done it justice. Need to experiment with it a couple more times to get the texture right as well as balancing it with the right sauces.

I could not get past the texture of this product. I wouldn't get it again.

We are big fans of black beans in our house (especially my 5yo) so these were enjoyed by all. Served with a satay sauce and vegetable stir fry. Yummy!

We liked the taste and the idea of them, but I'd prefer a larger pack size

Didn't know what type of dish to use these with as i was nervous that the taste of the noodles would overpower the dish.

I do not enjoy black beans and this product did not appeal to me.

I do not enjoy black beans and this product did not appeal to me.

Quite tasty.

I didn't like it.

Good for vegans

Love it Thanks for the sample will get it again Had it before!

Not my thing

Good with stirfry

Too weird for me

something different to go in rice paper rolls

Strange smell and texture for me. Unfortunately, would not buy again but I liked the idea.

Surprisingly good! Great texture, healthy alternative to noodles.

I really liked these the flavor was great loved that it is organic. My kids and partner wouldn't have a bar of it because of the color. Wouldn't purchase, sorry.

Easy to use. Not everyone liked it in our house. But I thought it would be nice for a change

Children were turned off by the colour. Tasted ok.

i found it hard to get my head around black noodles!

Weird texture and didnt seem right eating black noodles

I really wasn't sure if I would like this, but was very pleasantly surprised. Even my husband liked it.

did not taste nice

I enjoyed using this product as it was different from what I usually use.

not really our thing

Good

Awesome and substantial. A must to build around

yum, hadnt had before but really enjoyed

Healthy and innovative

These are just not my cup of tea!

just dont like the texture but taste is good

Great - pack size was too small for my family of 6, but really nice and tasty.

The colour put me off but the taste was fine.

So easy to cook and no strong taste that over powers the dish.

Looked awesome on the plate

not a fan! smelt and taste odd

not a fan, felt very yucky after i ate them

My daughter enjoyed these noodles but they are not my preference

didn't enjoy these at all - they tasted rubbery and fake. they had no taste and couldn't even disguise them with sauce as they were very rubbery. would not buy these again

DIfferent and I personally really like them! I get tired of rice and regular noodles so this was a nice change.

interesting, not the sort of product we would usually use

Didn't enjoy these, due to the taste or flavor. Wouldn't buy them.

This was very tasty

No flavour, and the texture was not what I was expecting

If the kids can get past the colour, a great healthy alternative to normal noodles.

Color put younger kids off

I liked these noodle but my children didn't like the taste

was not sure how to cook it and what to eat it with. Did not like the look of it or the taste

Didn’t enjoy at all. I wouldn't purchase these.

Tastes ok. Colour is off putting.

I didn't love the texture of these noodles.

Nice quick and easy

Different to what we normally have. Were ok.

Different to what we normally have. Were ok.

Delicious taste!

horrible

Nice noodles, kids weren't keen though

Was not a fan, did not like taste ot texture

Not for us unfortunately

haven't tried these yet

*

Didnt like texture, or taste, it put did not look good in the meal

Flavour was good. But the price and size of the packet would put me off from buying it.

Nice to try - would have a again

Nice product but not quite to childrens taste

The colour put me off but they tasted okay.

When cooked right with something tasty, actually better than expected.

I could not bring myself to try this due to the colour

did not particularly enjoy I think the colour put me off

not overly keen on taste of these, think the colour put me off

Didn't know how to use, not omething ever used before and family weren't keen on black noodles lol

These were such a nice surprise. They are not something I would of brought being unsure if my family would eat them. But they were lovely to try I used them in a stirfry and then in rice paper rolls. Great texture and felt like adding something of more health value to the meal.

Not a fan of these, texture is interesting to say the least. Flavour was okay.

Kids loved them the colour I think made it more exciting

In the middle with these. Don't love, don't hate. They are ok, not sure if we'd purchase in the future though. Price point is good.

I didn’t like texture. It’s like chewing paper.

This was interesting.. my kids didnt like this because of the colour.. tried it with spag boil but didnt get a tick from my two

Didn’t enjoy the texture or flavour but could have been the way they were cooked

Different but I did enjoy them. I will buy these.

yum!

Really enjoyed these noodles

Really enjoyed these noodles

Didnt really like these, had a funny texture. Black beans make me bloated and these did the same

We have had these before and are SUPER yummy! They make a boring old stirfry look great as well!

Kids did not enjoy this one, may have been the colour

Kids did not enjoy this one, may have been the colour

Loved these noodles - texture was lovely. Plain taste but worked well with sauce / soup I added it to. Will definitely be buying.

Unfortunately not for us. Dry and tasteless sorry.

Versatile. Was a hit with the 'health' conscious but not with the skeptical teens.

Really delicious. Will buy again.

The cooked texture put me off at first, but stir fried in with veges and sauce, these noodles tasted really great and quite filling too.

Good. Would buy again.

We don't really use this product in our cooking

Yummy noodles, was happy to swap out the normal hokkien noodles we usually use.

No real flavor, colour off putting, nobody liked them

Odd texture, don't like black food o my plate.

An aquired taste

yummy alternative to regular noodles

Interesting and not something I would usually purchase, great to try and I would definitely buy now

was good but would cost a bit to make for a large family

Different, not use to black noodles.

Not a fan

Something a bit different. Nice taste, but packaging too small for more than one person, and quite pricy.

Not sure if I will buy again - tasted good but my family don't really fancy the colour

Good

Easy to use, my kids liked them.

it taste very bad

Found this texture a little strange.

Love these shame we cant get them locally

Not to my taste

Healthy addition to salads or with meals! Slightly strange texture but something I could get used to!

nice easy addition to a meal

Texture is a bit different

i didnt really like these the texture wasnt for me

i didnt really like these the texture wasnt for me

I still prefer standard noodles but the great thing is these are nice and high in protein

It was an interesting product to try, a little bit of thought how to combine it in a meal.

flavour was not for us

Sorry I wont be buying this

The flavour was too overpowering

not a big fan

prefer to stick to normal noodles

Different but would try again for a special occasion

Not a flavour I would recommend

Something different to try, highly recommend.

It was okay, probably wouldn't buy again. Nothing wrong with it, just not up my families alley.

I would not purchase these, the flavour was not pleasant

No. Didn't like these at all.

loved this product - a great healthy alternative

The colour was offputting but the product tasted fine

not a huge fan but good to try different things

Not a fan of the texture.

Not my favorite noodle but if your into black beans you will like.

I like that it’s organic and plant based noodles but I didn’t like the texture.

Pleasantly surprised, they were quite tasty mixed with Hot smoked salmon, asparagus and cream.

it was ok just not a thing our family like but taste was good

Tasty but expensive.

Great flavour but expensive

Nice enough but found the colour a bit weird. Toddler ate them no problem.

.

Gave this to a friend to try.

Not really a fan of the colour of these noodles but they tasted okay.

Good with a stir fry.

family did not like these

nothing wrong with them just not my fave

love the difference

Tasty, easy to prepare and a point of difference with its colour, which made the kids want to eat it

Looks great on the plate - nice and healthy. Did not get 5 stars as the serving size is too small for a family.

They were ok if you were starving. My family didnt like the texture and the aroma of the noodles. Not something we would go and purchase again.

Noone in our house finished the meal.

Not something I would buy

Odd texture and flavour, not a family favourite

Average

Not a fan!

my kids loved the colour and ate it all so thats a win in our house

Great healthier alternative to traditional noodles.

just not my cup of tea. I didnt like the texture or taste. Personal preferance though

Yum in salads!

Yum in salads!

great alternative to the usual noodles we use.

Looked wonderful in my salad against the edamame beans and pomegranate seeds!

Such a cool colour on the plate and healthy to boot!

Hadn't considered these before but we really enjoyed them

An interesting addition to meals - nice texture and flavour.

Not bad. Will try again

Taste was ok, but they were just scary looking 😅

Good, tasty, not sure if we would use again, a little too 'healthy' for our family tastes.

different extra to a stirfry meal

very different would try again

Delicious and filling plus a family pleaser!

Love these, great for salad too

Great to use in salads.

Not a family favourite

Interesting noodles, will try again

Delicious. Had a chicken stirfry and mixed it with this

terible taste and horrible texture

For me the colour is offputting but my daughter seemed to enjoy them :)

Love these, and enjoyed the recipe on the back of the packet too

I wasn't a fan of this, but can at least say I tried it!

Being organic i thought I wouldnt like them but really good even the kids loved them.

They were alright. Kids refused to try the due to colour. I didn't enjoy the texture.

Great alternative for meals. Kids really enjoyed. Will purchase in the future

Followed the recipe on the bag, just substituted some of the veges and it was so yum! Even hubby loved it

I love these noodles and so does my 5 year old son. So much better for us too.

My sister had these and said they were delicious

These were really nice, plus its gluten free even my 3 year old enjoyed them :)

I really enjoy these. They suit my gluten free requirement. I'd buy these over regular GF noodles any day!

I have to say it was not something we would purchase again. Kids did not eat it..

If I could give zero stars I would. This was awful. The whole family tipped their dinner in the bin.

Thought I wouldn't like these but so yummy.

not what I would normally buy for noodles, but made a great change-up to our normal laksa routine. A bit gritty, but definitely healthier!

Recently changed to a keto diet, these fix my pasta craving, great with a stir fry.

Ok, once we got over the colour. Not a great mouth-feel, but edible.

Tasted ok, but the smell wasn’t great

Not a big fan but they actually tasted good. My daughters a vegan and she thankfully liked it. She eats only a handful of things happily she definitely showed a thumbs up for black bean noodles

I'm not a fan but I am very sure a vegan would love these products. I have to say that I was quite impressed at how filling the serving was.

I’m not a fan, and I’m a noodle lover

Harmless enough - but not great on taste or texture. Used to make a noddle bowel with lots of extra vegetables and the kids ate it no problems but wouldnt be rushing back

Not a fan

My family loved these noodles, great in a noodle bowl and were lovely and light in texture

Would not buy again as the flavour and texture where not too pleasant for my liking

I was really looking forward to these - easy to prepare, great texture and colour (makes for a colour noodle bowl). However, I just didn't like the flavour at all...real pity.

Wouldn't normally buy these but was pleasantly surprised with the taste and versatility.

These went down very well in our house, added some thin beef slices and broth, mushrooms and sesame seeds, turned out well

This is not a product I would normally purchase however I was surprised & would purchase in the future

Tasty. Afirdable

Yummy, will definitely have them again

Nice to have an alternative to pasta, rice enjoyed in a stir fry

Loved the texture and low carb qualities of this product. A great healthy, low carb option to add to any dish.

Loved these ... a bit of boiling water and they're done, although I did notice they took longer than 2 mins. A perfect add to soup or a 'carb' alternative on the plate. Yum

I wouldn’t normally have bought these in the supermarket but after receiving them in black box and cooking them, they’re surprisingly tasty and good.

Super easy to prepare but the taste and texture are not so good

Quick and easy, a tasty Healthy option to add to your meal.

Quick and easy to cook. High in protein. Easy to add flavour to. A massive hit with the family.

Follow noodle cooking instructions so that the noodles after taste does not tamper with your cooking/meals final taste. Great alternative for pasta/noodle if you have friends with special dietary needs.

Yay finally found something really tasty for a keto eater. I loved it.

No one in my family liked the colour, texture or taste.

Loved this product and especially face that it is organic

Loved the product and being organic is a bonus Had ours with chicken yum

Lovely product tastes great and went very far. Kids didnt no it was beans. They loved it in a stirfry

My new favourite! Just need to be able to find them at Countdown. I can substitute these for the hand spiralized courgettes or carrots I currently do, for a bit of variety. Love the edamame noodles too.

Did not like the taste or texture. They say you eat with your eyes and these were not appealing to the eye either.

We didn't like the taste or texture of the noodles

nice flavour added to my mince stirfry. colour was a bit strange for the kids but was enjoyed.

The flavour was a bit blend, probably putting salt in the water would help. We used it with dtiry fried veggies and a sauce. It was nice for the adults but not for Miss 10. We did notice more flatulence after the meal, like with other kinds of beans

It's different but taste great. Perfect

Something new, looks different but did not enjoy the texture.

loved these new organic noodles, quick to prepare and offered a healthy alternative to pasta. would definatley purchase again and keen to try other varieties of this type of thing. delicious and a protein hit at the same time. great for lower carb fans too.

Something Abit different from the same old

Great for a stir fry on the plus side there gluten free

Glorious noodles. A nice change for a vegetarian stirfry base, will def buy in the future.

My kids eat with their eyes so a bit put off by the colour

Nice for a chance in our stirfry. Great that are gluten-free

did not look inviting but gave it a try in a stirfy,didn't enjoy the texture.

Wasn't a fan just looking at the packet but would give it a go anyway. The look was off putting and wasn't very keen on the taste. Wouldn't be something I would purchase

Very easy to prepare and has appealing attributes like gluten free and extra protein but unfortunately the look and texture were so unappealing I could not eat them.

These were interesting. Super easy to make which is a big +, but I'm still on the fence about the taste and texture.

I used these with a Lamb Casserole, but the texture was like eating rubber and tasted really weird, These noodles aren't something I would buy.

We didn’t mind these, they were different and the texture different, the kids couldn’t get past the black colour but adults like them.

I wasn't sure about these at first. But found them quite enjoyable! Filling, different (not a bad thing,.I tend to get into ruts with dinners). and will definitely be trying a different way next time!

Really enjoyed these. Taste, texture were great and they were filling too

Did not like at all

The problem I have with other reviews is that people seem to be basing them by making comparisons to other products, not allowing this to stand on its own. No, these are not the same as the pasty starch 'noodles' that the everyday consumer is acquainted with, these are a unique product on their own. As such I am happy to consider these noodles on their own merits. I was impressed with the ease of preparation (I would suggest salting the water) and the volume that resulted. One packet will last a lot of meals. I was also particularly impressed with the comparatively low carb count that makes a small serving quite acceptable to a Keto or low-carb/diabetic regime. I found the flavour and texture to be full and pleasant and they went very well with a bolognaise style dish. I will definitely be buying these in future.

I like them but kids didn’t.

5 stars I put them in my stirfry they were very tasty

I put them in my stirfry they were very tasty

I wouldn't buy these. The texture was very strange. Quite gritty.

Not really something I would go out and purchase. They texture was pretty strange

Great with spaghetti bolognaise.

We all loved them - great to be getting in an extra serving of legumes with our meal, too!

They smelt a bit weird but tasted okay in the chicken noodle soup I made. They were nice but was hesitant to try them on their own.

These were different but enjoyable. Definitely best as a base with a great sauce to top it off.

These were very tasty and delicious, a great healthy accompaniment to a meal.

Made a noodle dish for the family, they ate it but preferred our usual egg noodles better.

These were umm.... different. I don't think we will buy them. They were okay, but not a favourite.

Interesting. Different. Tasty. My kids liked them alot because they were something new and exciting

These were nice noodles - will like to make a creamy sauce next time

Really enjoyed these noodles as a base to my stir fry

Easy but Would make sure I had more sauce next time as didn’t really love the taste alone

Great product! Easy to make, nice addition to any meal. I will be buying regularly!

Nice noddles, I like the texture I’d eat them again

I enjoyed these noodles. Very quick to prepare.

I used these noodles in with my mince stew, these were a welcomed addition to our meal. So filling.

Was delicious as a replacement for our normal noodles with sauce and meatballs. Some members of the family did not appreciate the chewy texture but my daughter loved them!

Maybe I overcooked them as they were a bit strange....

Liked the taste, had bit of a chewy texture which I'm a fan of but not so much hubby

Strange texture I would probably eat them again if I had to but I would not buy them

Found these noodles were great with a good sesame chicken sauce

Found these were great in a good sauce

Wasn't really a favourite flavour or texture for us

This was not a hit in my house

as with the endemene noodles these cook very fast and can go gluggy so be careful not to over cook the other thing is the colour can transfer to the other items in the dish you are cooking it with so can make the dish look less then appertising

I loved these. Firstly, they look interesting being black but the nutty texture and high protein content with the versatility of the flavour - I had mine in place of spaghetti with pork meatballs- was a huge win for me. I would love to try the edamame flavour and would definitely love to purchase these soon as well as recommend them!

I enjoyed these more than I expected to! Would buy again.

BETTER ADDED IN A STIRFRY DIDNT LIKE BY THEMSELVES NEVER TRIED BEFOREW THOUGH

Not my type of noodles. Dries out fast

hey were nice not something Id usually buy but def liked them and are good for those who like an alternative to wheat :) had a great taste and was nice with pasta and or seafood

Different texture but nice

Not my thing, I had them in a stir fry

Honestly it really wasn't my thing. I was able to mask it with flavor in my stirfry but it just wasn't my thing. Texture was off and taste was a bit weird for me

Not a big fan of beans but my partner liked them with beef stir fry and black bean sauce.

Wasnt a fan of these

Very yum added to my stirfry

Wasnt a fan of these

Was not a fan of these at all just not my thing

These were surprisingly soo delicious!!! Easy to prepare and when thrown in with my Malaysian curry - it was perfect. I normally use vermicelli noodles but these were so much nicer and soaked up the juices. They have definitely been added to my grocery list!!

Havent tried them and not sure if we will, the colour puts us off. Youngest looked at them and said no he didnt want them. Not much of a noodle eater apart from son likes 2 min noodles

We loved these, such a great alternative and a great why to pump the protein into my son who's vegetarian. Super yummy like a soba noodle.

We put them in our stir fry but they weren't a big hit with the family, we found they dried out very quick!! They might have been better in a wetter dish with more sauce, or a soup type dish

We really enjoyed these! A lot tastier than normal noodles and I prefer the texture of these by far. They do dry quickly so make sure there's plenty of sauce mixed right before serving. They are a far better nutrition balance for those wanting to avoid carbs/fat or increase protein/fibre.

The whole family loved these! Went amazingly in our spaghetti and meatball dish

Cooked for exactly 3 mins, the texture is similar to an al dente noodle. Not a great dish on it's own, but soaks up flavour really well so made an excellent addition to stir fry. Good source of healthy protein..

Great Product

These were ok. Very easy to prepare which is great when you want to throw something together quickly but I didn't enjoy the texture. They felt a bit weird. They absorb flavour easily which is a plus

This was the first thing my kids wanted to try lol. We made a stirfry. We all thought they were delicious and we will be buying again.

Loved these super tasty and quick and easy

These suprised me. They were really fast cooking and easy to prepare. The kids actually loved them! They thought the colour of them was really cool and fun. The nutrition in them is really good with a good source of protein and lower in carbs than regular noodles. I will be purchasing these again.

Never had these before and found them quick and easy, and so tasty. I will be buying these again and try other ones from the same brand.

Never tried these before and loved them. Even the kids who can be quite fussy enjoyed eating these. Definately would get again.

These were SO EASY to make, and had a much nicer consistency that gluten free pasta. They retained their shape, looked great and tasted amazing. Honestly, 3 minutes immersed in water, drained and they were good to go. A pleasant nutty sort of taste. Also good in a chilled noodle salad. Top marks: loved them.

First time trying this and totally enjoyed it, delicious made it as part of a salad for lunch, will definitely buy again.

First time trying these and loved them. I make chicken fettuccine with them. Yummy will be buying them again.

Loved this product, I made Thai noodle soup which was delicious, the texture and the flavour of the noodles was just right.

Was a little skeptical but these are so yum! We try to eat one plant based meal a week so these arrived just in time. I have to say, the whole family loved them. I put them with a stir-fry for a quick and easy meal and no complaints from anyone. Packaging is nice and bright + since we already buy a few products from the Trident brand, we'll definitely be looking to add these to our shopping list in future.

love these noodles, first time have tried therm.,. .will be getting them again

Easy to prepare nice tasting miss 6yeaer old even loved

Easy to prepare but I'm not a noodle fan. Loved the colour, was a real novelty.

These were SO EASY to make, and had a much nicer consistency that gluten free pasta. They retained their shape, looked great and tasted amazing.

These were a great option for a quick easy dinner, very easy to prepare

Good tasting and nice packaging

A bit weird

I liked them, but the kids didnt.

was a great taste and interesting look and texture def makes a plate pop esp with co,lourful meats and vege on it

They were nice, texture a wee bit funny but tasted good. Happy to buy again

Yummy

Yummy kids loved them

Texture not good. Tasted not good. Wouldn't buy again

Prepared as per packet instructions and used in a stirfry. Wasn't very popular with the family, some said it had an unusual smell and taste. I found the texture ok but the taste was a bit odd. Probably wouldn't buy them again.

I really enjoyed this product! I substituted these into a sesame chicken dish and it took it to another level! Really tasty and filling. Would def buy again!

Not sure. Made pork stir fry and added like I would other noodles (after soaking). May be I need to soak longer. There were lots left over. Not sure if I’d buy again.

Really good

Surprisingly good
