Konjac glucomannan is a soluble fiber from the root of the konjac plant, grown mainly in Asia. People there have eaten konjac for centuries in foods such as shirataki noodles and konjac jelly.
Where it comes from
The konjac root is dried and milled, and the fiber is separated as a fine powder. Glucomannan absorbs a lot of water and turns into a thick gel, which is the reason fiber supplements that contain it are taken with water.
Key points
- Comes from the konjac plant root
- A long-time food in Asian cooking
