Product Description:
1. What is konjac and konjac powder?
Konjac, also known as Amorphophallus konjac, is a plant native to Southeast Asia, particularly China, Japan, and Korea. It is a perennial herb that belongs to the Araceae family. The plant's main edible part is its tuber, which is large and starchy.
Konjac powder is derived from the konjac plant's tuber through a process that involves cleaning, peeling, cutting, drying, and milling. The resulting powder is a fine, white, odorless substance that is rich in a dietary fiber called glucomannan.
Glucomannan is the primary active component of konjac powder and is known for its remarkable water-absorbing properties. It has an exceptional ability to absorb and hold water, forming a gel-like substance. This unique characteristic makes konjac powder an effective thickening agent, stabilizer, and gelling agent in various food products.
