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)
