What is Konjac?
Konjac is a remarkable plant that has been enjoyed as part of traditional diets in Japan and China for more than 1,400 years. Today, it's recognized around the world as a versatile ingredient used to create healthier alternatives to everyday foods such as noodles, rice and pasta.
At ZERO, konjac is at the heart of many of our products because it offers a unique combination of versatility, dietary fiber and convenience, making it easy to enjoy healthier meals without compromising on taste.
Where Does Konjac Come From?
Konjac comes from the root of the Amorphophallus konjac plant, sometimes referred to as the konjac potato or elephant yam. It grows naturally throughout parts of Asia, where it has been cultivated for centuries for both culinary and traditional uses.
The edible part of the plant is the underground corm, which is carefully processed into a fine flour known as konjac flour.
What Makes Konjac Unique?
Konjac flour is naturally rich in glucomannan, a soluble dietary fibre that has been widely researched for its potential role in supporting a healthy lifestyle.
Unlike many traditional carbohydrate-based foods, konjac flour is exceptionally high in fibre while being naturally low in digestible carbohydrates. This unique nutritional profile has made it increasingly popular among people looking for healthier alternatives to conventional rice, noodles and pasta.
How is Konjac Used?
Konjac flour can be used to create a wide range of foods with a texture similar to traditional noodles, rice and pasta.

Why Is Konjac So Popular?

-
Digestive health
