What is Konjac Powder?

Konjac powder, also known as konjac flour or glucomannan powder, is a fine, white-to-off-white powder derived from the root (corm) of the Amorphophallus konjac plant, native to Asia.

The key to its remarkable properties is a dietary fiber called glucomannan. This is a water-soluble polysaccharide known for its incredible ability to absorb water, forming a thick, viscous gel. Konjac powder is one of the most concentrated sources of glucomannan available.

Key Characteristics and Properties of Konjac Glucomannan Powder 

Extreme Water Absorption: Glucomannan is one of the most viscous dietary fibers known. It can absorb up to 50 times its weight in water, forming a dense, gelatinous substance.

Calorie-Free: Because it is a non-digestible fiber, it passes through the digestive system without being absorbed, contributing virtually no calories.

Tasteless and Odorless: Its neutral profile makes it easy to incorporate into foods and supplements without altering flavor.

Gelling and Thickening Agent: It acts as a powerful natural gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent.
