This stuff is amazing!! Can easily get 3 portions out of a pack, way WAY more filling/satisfying than normal pasta, for 40 calories?! (+whatever veg you fancy)

A “normal Black bean spagetti” has 303 calories per 100g dry weight and almost 28g fiber. My thought is that they use the cooked weight and dedact the fiber kcals

What is the taste and texture like? Is it similar to lentil pasta or more similar to something else?

Looks like this brand is doing the same thing Slendier does here, by basing their calorie information on cooked weight but then listing the servings per package as the dry weight – aka straight-up lying, since both canāt be true at once. Slendier has been doing it for years because they know it sells their product but theyāre somehow skirting consequences on some technicality.
I was gutted when I found out & couldnāt believe it for ages. Black bean spaghetti still has fewer calories & way better macros than regular pasta, plus I kinda prefer it, but I canāt support the brands that do this.
