1,What’s the konjac?
The konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac) grows in slopes 2000 to 4000 ft above sea level, where it enjoys the habitat’s clean air and water. The edible part of the konjac plant is the root which resembles an oval shaped yam potato or taro. A common misconception is that Konjac noodles are yam noodles- they are not. Although the konjac root looks similar to other root vegetables, it belongs to a different family of plants. While potatoes and yams are known to be heavy in starches, the konjac has high fibre content and very little starch.

Konjac pasta is made with konjac flour containing the water soluble dietary fibre glucomannan. Studies have shown konjac glucomannan in diet is beneficial to our health in many ways

2. Help control blood sugar level – By extending the time required to digest a meal, sugars and carbohydrates from other food intake are processed slower, which reduces spikes in blood sugar levels.
3. Reduce cholesterol – Glucomannan gel in the digestive system inhibits the absorption of lipids, such as LDL (bad cholesterol).
4. Regulate bowel movements – As with many food items that contain dietary fibres, glucomannan can help regulate bowel movements.
