What is konjac flour?

Konjac flour is a type of flour derived from the root of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac). The konjac plant is native to Asia and is widely cultivated in countries like Japan, China, and Korea. The flour is made by drying and grinding the corm of the konjac plant into a fine powder.

Konjac flour is known for its unique properties and is often used as a thickening agent or a substitute for traditional wheat flour in cooking and baking. It is rich in dietary fiber and has a very low calorie and carbohydrate content, making it a popular choice for those following low-carb or calorie-controlled diets.

Furthermore, konjac flour is gluten-free, making it a suitable option for individuals with gluten sensitivities or those following a gluten-free diet.
