âś…Â Great choice for Vegan Recipes and Modernist Cooking recipesÂ
Konjac/ Glucomannan is a common name of the Asian plant Amorphophallus konjac which has an edible corm. The food made from the corm of this plant is widely known in English by its Japanese name, konnyaku (yam cake), being cooked and consumed primarily in Japan. It is low carb, low calorie, versatile, sugar-free and gluten-free.
Glucomannan is a fiber composed of mannose and glucose. It has the highest viscosity and molecular weight when compared with other dietary fibers.
A typical serving of the powder is a half-level teaspoon (two grams), which contains about five calories and 2.5 grams of fiber. This amount of fiber fulfills roughly 10 percent of daily fiber requirements.
Use it as a thickener in place of cornstarch - 1 teaspoon of Konjac flour equals about 10 teaspoons of cornstarch -Â to create delicious glucomannan recipes from scratch. Use it as a thickener in sauces and soups. Use it in your baking - 1 teaspoon of Konjac flour equals about 2 cups of wheat flour - or you can simply dissolve it in water as a fiber supplement!
