Nowadays, Konjac noodles have gained popularity worldwide due to their low carb, low calorie, gluten free, fat free, and sugar free characteristics. However, an intriguing question arises: what is the difference between konjac noodles and shirataki noodles?
Actually, Konjac noodles and shirataki noodles are identical products, both crafted from water and konjac flour, differing only in name.
“魔芋（Konjac)” carries the meaning of ‘demon’ or ‘devil’, originating from the diverse forms and peculiar biological characteristics of plants in the Amorphophallus genus. Regarding its unique economic component, glucomannan, which possesses certain distinct physicochemical properties compared to other plant gums and seems almost ‘magical’, ancient Chinese people referred to it as “鬼芋(konjac)” . The Compendium of Materia Medica mentions: “In Jiangnan, there is the Bai 蒟蒻（Juruo） produced by Wu, also known as ‘鬼芋(konjac)’.” The 1979 edition of Cihai (Sea of Words) records it as “魔芋(konjac), also known as 蒟蒻”; while the 1979 edition of the Chinese Higher Plants Taxonomy and Genus Index lists it as “魔芋(konjac), Amorphophallus in the Araceae family”. After the name “蒟蒻” fell out of use among the general populace, it was referred to as 魔芋 or 磨芋, and as “魔” and “磨” sound similar in Chinese, it is collectively known as “魔芋(konjac).”
The other common name for the konjac noodle is shirataki noodle. It means “white waterfall” in Japanese, a moniker given because the noodles look translucent and almost like cascading water when poured into a bowl.

Konjac noodles are not banned worldwide; they are actually widely available in numerous supermarkets and health food stores. However, there is confusion surrounding konjac products due to the ban on konjac jelly.
Konjac jelly is a jelly-like substance made from the konjac yam. It is often used as a thickener or a gelling agent in food products. However, konjac jelly has been linked to choking deaths in several countries, including Japan and South Korea. The jelly has a unique texture that makes it difficult to swallow, especially for young children and the elderly.
In response to these safety concerns, several countries including Australia, the USA, and the UK have issued directives to ban the sale of konjac jelly. These bans aim to protect consumers from the potential choking hazards associated with konjac jelly.
