Shirataki Rice: Miracle Rice

With modern lifestyles accelerating, healthy eating has become a global priority. Shirataki rice, also known as miracle rice or konjac rice, is revolutionizing diets as a low-calorie, high-fiber superfood. Loved for its unique texture and nutritional benefits, this gluten-free rice alternative is ideal for weight management and gut health. Let's dive into why shirataki rice deserves a spot in your pantry!

We offer two types of skinny shirataki rice: dry and wet konjac rice. The dry variety requires rehydration with boiling water for a short period before consumption. The wet one on the other hand, is ready to eat straight from the package, offering ultimate convenience.

Dry shirataki rice is crafted from konjac flour (derived from the konjac plant), rice flour and water through a patented gelatinization process. However, wet konjac rice uses a different process, with only konjac flour and water added, so it is also called miracle rice. It mimics traditional rice in appearance but boasts near-zero calories, zero carbs, and a wealth of soluble dietary fiber (glucomannan). Historically used in Asian medicine, konjac is now celebrated globally as a versatile, health-enhancing ingredient.

Shirataki rice for diet, depending on the processing technology, can be broadly categorized into two main types: dry shirataki rice and hydrated (or wet/organic) shirataki rice. These two types require distinct cooking methods. To illustrate, let's compare two products from our best konjac rice brand.
