Organic konjac rice (Gohan): Detailed information
Konjac rice are 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 extracted2.
Glucomannan is a soluble fibre that absorbs water easily, to form a very thick gel that induces feelings of fullness3. This soluble fibre is also used in case of hyperlipaemia (high levels of blood lipids)2, to improve blood glucose levels and reduce cholesterol4. It can also be used to regulate intestinal function3.
Our Gohan konjac rice only contain 0.2% carbohydrates and are rich in glucomannan, as they contain 2.6% of this fibre.
Preparing our Gohan (konjac rice)
