Konjac Gum

Konjac gum is a natural food additive and dietary supplement derived from the root of the konjac plant, also known as Amorphophallus konjac. It is a soluble dietary fiber that is used as a thickener, gelling agent, and stabilizer in a variety of food and beverage products. The main component of konjac gum is glucomannan, a polysaccharide that has been shown to have a range of health benefits. Glucomannan is highly water-absorbent, which gives konjac gum its thick, viscous texture and helps to create a feeling of fullness in the stomach.
