Why is konnyaku pasta a gut-friendly food?

Sep 05, 2024

The long history of konjac

Konnyaku, also known as konjac and shirataki, has been used to treat diseases more than 2,000 years ago in ancient China, according to the "Compendium of Materia Medica". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that it has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and widening the intestines and promoting bowel movements.

In the pursuit of healthy diet today, konjac, as a high-fiber, low-calorie food, has attracted much attention. However, it should be noted that raw konjac contains certain toxins and is not safe to eat directly. Therefore, we have specially launched carefully processed, safe and harmless konjac products, such as konnyaku pasta, shirataki dry rice and konjac snacks, to meet the needs of customers for healthy ingredients.

These konjac products retain the original nutritional value of konjac while removing the toxins in it, so you can eat it with confidence. They are rich in dietary fiber, help promote intestinal peristalsis, improve digestion, and are a good helper for maintaining intestinal health. In addition, the low-calorie, low carb, no fat and no sugar characteristics of konjac products also make it an ideal choice for weight control and the pursuit of healthy diet.

Protect blood vessels and benefit the heart

Konjac not only protects blood vessels by inhibiting cholesterol absorption, but its mucus protein can also promote blood circulation and reduce lipid deposition on the blood vessel wall, which has a positive effect on preventing atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

Assist weight management

Konnyaku pasta has become the first choice for many people who want to lose weight with its unique low-calorie(only 6 Kcal per 100g) and high satiety characteristics. Dietary fiber expands in the stomach, which not only reduces food intake, but also stabilizes blood sugar levels and reduces hunger. We got many feedbacks from customers that after they eat konjac noodles for a period, they lost weight greatly in the healthy way.

Promote intestinal health

The dietary fiber in konjac is like a "intestinal brush", which effectively removes stool and toxins in the intestine, prevents constipation, and improves the intestinal environment. At the same time, it can also promote the growth of beneficial bacteria, maintain the balance of intestinal flora, and protect intestinal health.

Potential anti-cancer effect

The protective layer formed by the gel substance in konjac in the intestine not only helps to reduce the absorption of harmful substances, but also promotes the normal metabolism of intestinal cells and reduces the risk of cancer. Although its anti-cancer effect still needs more research to confirm, it has attracted widespread attention.

Control blood sugar

The low GI value of konjac makes it perform well in controlling blood sugar. The protective film formed by dietary fiber in the intestines can slow down the digestion of food and make blood sugar rise more slowly. It helps diabetic patients or people with high blood sugar to control blood sugar levels and reduce the damage to the body caused by blood sugar fluctuatio
