konjac gum powder glucomannan for cooking
Product Description:
1. What is konjac and konjac powder?
Konjac is a root vegetable that resembles an unusually-shaped potato. The bulb of the plant – the part of the plant that grows underground – contains a soluble fiber called glucomannan. Soluble fiber is known to absorb water to form a gel-like material and slows down our digestion. It can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. Soluble fiber is found in oats, beans, apples, citrus fruits, carrots and psyllium.
Glucomannan has traditionally been used in Chinese medicine and has been associated with constipation prevention, weight loss, a decrease in cholesterol levels and blood sugar control.
It’s available in a jelly form – as candies, a vegan gelatin or a thick drink often referred to as konjac jelly. It's also used as a thickener or emulsifier in some foods, or it can be dried and used as flour for noodles. It's also commonly found as a dietary supplement in either pill form or something to be added into a drink mixture.
Konjac, also known as elephant yam, is a plant commonly grown in Asia. The starchy bulb root, known as a corm, is used to make food like noodles and rice.
2. Advantages of konjac powder
