Best Konjac Dietary Fiber, Konjac Root Glucomannan Supplier
Konjac Dietary Fiber, Konjac gum manufacturer
Glucomannan is a water-soluble konjac dietary fiber that is derived from the konjac root (Amorphophallus Konjac). It can actually absorb and hold water up to 100 times its own weight! Like other forms of dietary fiber, glucomannan helps to maintain normal bowel /colonic function and regulate transit time, as well as promote intestinal regularity and healthy digestive function.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between Konjac Flour and Glucomannan Powder?
In the commercial market, they are often used interchangeably, but there is a technical difference in purity.
Konjac Flour: Ground from the dried konjac tuber. It may contain small amounts of starch and impurities. It sometimes has a slight “fishy” odor.
Glucomannan Powder (or Konjac Gum): This is the purified, extracted fiber. It is white, odorless, and has the highest thickening power. For most home cooking and weight loss purposes, you want “Glucomannan Powder.”
2. How do I use konjac flour as a thickener (instead of cornstarch)?
Konjac is 10x stronger than cornstarch. If you use a 1:1 ratio, you will ruin your dish.
The Ratio: Use ½ teaspoon of konjac powder for every 1 cup of liquid.
The Technique: Never dump the powder directly into hot liquid; it will seize into a hard, lumpy “slime ball” instantly. You must dissolve it in a small amount of cold water (make a slurry) or mix it with a sweetener (like erythritol) before adding it to your sauce.
3. Can I make my own shirataki noodles at home with konjac flour?
Yes, but it is not as simple as mixing it with water. To make the noodles firm and non-melting (irreversible gel), you need an alkaline agent.
The Secret Ingredient: You must mix the konjac paste with pickling lime (food-grade Calcium Hydroxide) or a baking soda solution.
Without the alkali, boiling the flour just creates a thick goo that dissolves again when heated or eaten.
4. Is it a good substitute for Xanthan Gum in keto baking?
Yes, it is an excellent substitute.
Ratio: Use a 1:1 ratio to replace Xanthan Gum.
Texture: Konjac tends to yield a “chewier” or more elastic texture than Xanthan gum. It works exceptionally well in yeast-free keto breads or pizza crusts where you want that slight “stretch.”
5. Will taking the konjac powder help me lose weight?
Yes, due to satiety. Glucomannan expands up to 50 times its weight in water. Taking 1 gram (about 1/4 teaspoon) mixed with a full glass of water 30 minutes before a meal creates a physical feeling of fullness, which can significantly reduce portion sizes.

Customer Reviews
“Game changer! Started a lower carb diet. I was not to sure about this... But I LOVE these! It is the closest product I have tried to pasta. You will not be disappointed! I now have this automatically delivered. ”
“Great! Noodle replacement. They have no flavor at all. We loved the texture. Its better with the oat in it than the plain shiritaki because the texture is more like noodles. Luv this, will buy again.”
“Good keto substitute! They are very interesting and seem a good substitute. a little chewy. I followed instructions easy to prepare. I rinse then with water and then I soak them with a bit of vinegar -a few drops- leave it for a few mins and the fishy smell really goes away.”
