Konjac root
Konjac root, sometimes known as elephant yam, is a tuber, or subterranean vegetable, similar to the potato. For ages, the plant has been utilized as food and medicine in Asia, and it is frequently used as a dietary supplement for its health benefits. This tuber flour contains 70-90% glucomannan fiber, an extremely viscous dietary fiber.
Konjac glucomannan encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria in your colon and may aid in constipation relief. Glucomannan has also been demonstrated to aid with weight reduction and reduce blood cholesterol, all while boosting glucose metabolism. It can be found in dishes prepared from the konjac root, such as shirataki noodles. Glucomannan supplements are also available.
