Organic konjac noodles (Shirataki): Detailed information
What is shirataki?
Originating from Japan, shirataki is obtained from konnayaku: a gelatinous pasta made from konjac tuber (Amorphophallus konjac K.Koch). Konjac is a plant native to Asia that is grown mainly in Japan, and typically has a tuber that can grow 30 cm in diameter and from which glucomannan is extracted. Glucomannan is a soluble fibre that takes in water easily to form a high viscosity gel1.
When konnyaku takes the form of noodles, it is known as shirataki, meaning “white waterfall”, a name that refers to its distinctive appearance and gelatinous texture. Konjac noodles have low carbohydrate content (maximum 0,2 g per 100 g) and are rich in glucomannan, a soluble fibre used in cases of hyperlipaemia (high levels of blood lipids)1, help to improve blood glucose levels and reduce cholesterol2.
How to prepare shirataki (konjac noodles)
Rinse pasta under warm water. Boil or fry for 2-3 min. Add directly to the dish.
