What makes Shileo different from other industrially processed foods?
Many food companies try to sell their products as "light", "non-fat" and "no added sugar". "Light" simply indicates that it's less heavy than the regular recipe (yet still unhealthy), "no fat" usually means that sugar is added to increase the flavoring, and "no added sugar" could mean that other artificial ingredients are added in order to compensate. We believe food should be light as a rule, and not only reduced in unhealthy ingredients. You shouldn't feel sleepy or hungry after a meal, especially when you're trying to lose weight.
Does Shileo increase intestinal transit and digestion?
Our meals contain between 0 and 1g of fiber. Depending on your diet, especially if you have a general diet which is low in fiber, your body may need to get used to the increase in fibre intake, but this should soon pass. Please check each individual product page to see the exact value.
Is Shileo gluten free?
We're 100% gluten free
Can I lose weight on Shileo?
In addition regular activity and an appropriate diet - absolutely! Shileo contains glucomanan, a fiber naturally present in konjac roots. Glucomanan can help you with weight loss as well as maintaining normal blood cholesterol levels (link)
Why is it named Shileo?
It is a portmanteau of the first letters of the word "shirataki", the traditional Japanese noodles made of konjac, and the word "leo", which is not only an animal which stands for power and strength, but is also the Anja's (one of our two founders) zodiac sign.
In which countries are you present?
We currently ship to the all EU countries + Switzerland
What is the taste of the Shileo konjac noodles and rice?
The konjac rice and noodles have a similar structure and taste to Chinese vermicelli. Our products don't have fishy smell, which is very often the case with konjac from competitors. Their natural taste is neutral, but any sauce, spices or herbs added to them will give them a nice flavour.
The product arrived quickly, the quality is amazing (not the slimy wet konjac substitutes that smell fishy). Cooking time is around 12-15 min, so the rice is perfect for making risotto or paella. The pasta is also amazing with some good carbonara, pesto or bolognese! They are perfect for a keto or low-carb lifestyle!
Excellent support. Fast delivery. Low carb.
Products are high quality (dried instead of preserved in liquid), very delicious and have the perfect texture when prepared as stated. Taste / texture can be compared with glass noodles (in my opinion). Thumbs up and 5+ stars :-) Keep going!
OK this company is amazing. I purchased the konjak rice. I'm on a keto diet so thought this would be perfect for me.
It was amazing ! Easy to cook and honestly the closest thing to actual rice I've tried so far. And I've tried alot of products.
Egg fried rice is my favourite dish because frying the konjak rice makes it that bit more crispier and rice like.
Anyway, delivery was fast, Communication too.
The only thing I would say is that they should provide the booklet that is also delivered, in English as well as German.. for those who don't speak German.
But it was easy to cook so it didn't make a difference
THANK YOU SHILEO, I've ordered another set. :)
Great experience! Fast delivery, tasty meals, and best of all - diabetic-friendly! Super impressed with the service and product - will definitely be ordering again.
