V. Hearun Konjac Tofu

RM7.50

Konjac (aka: konnyaku) is an edible plant derivative from the yam/taro family.

This rubbery, gelatinous food has a unique, bouncy chew that is used in many Japanese soups and simmered dishes such as oden and sukiyaki (more on this in a sec).

Made of mostly water and pulverized konnyaku powder, konjac is vegan and is a great alternative to meats, seafood and pasta. It can also be used as a substitute for gelatin.

The main benefits of this zero-calorie food are that it is high in a dietary fiber called glucomannan – and aids (greatly) in digestion. Your clean gut thanks you in advance!
