Many people have compared it to a yam in terms of its looks and texture and it is incredibly versatile.With a history of over 1,500 years dating back to the sixth century in Japan when it was used as a medicinal food, it’s clear that it’s held its own over the years.

What makes the Konjac plant so special?
Apart from being 100% sustainable, the plant is rich in vitamins (not to show off, but a casual abundance of vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, E) and lots of essential protein. It is also jam packed with natural minerals such as zinc, copper, magnesium and iron.Konjac is made up of almost 90% water so it doesn’t hurt to injest some when you need a dose of hydration.
