Konjac is versatile, used in snacks (konjac jelly pearl), meal replacements (konjac noodles rice, konjac skinny rice, shirataki low carb noodles), vegetarian products (shirataki vegan meat) , beauty items (konjac sponges), and medical applications. We aim to explore its full potential across various markets.
Cross-Border Marketing
Case 1: A collaboration between a Chinese brand and a popular Korean instant noodle brand resulted in Korean Spicy Chicken-flavored konjac vegetarian tripe. This partnership enhances credibility and attracts customer interest.
