What is organic konjac flour?
Organic Konjac Flour is a natural, gluten-free flour made from the root of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac), which is native to Asia. This flour is rich in glucomannan, a soluble fiber known for its unique ability to absorb water and form a gel-like texture. Konjac flour is often used as a thickening agent, a food additive, or a low-carb, low-calorie substitute for traditional flours. It is widely used in gluten-free and keto-friendly products, as well as in various culinary applications.
Production Process:
- Sourcing: The konjac roots are grown organically, free from pesticides or synthetic chemicals, on certified farms.
- Harvesting: The roots are carefully harvested when they reach full maturity, ensuring optimal glucomannan content.
- Cleaning & Peeling: After harvesting, the konjac roots are cleaned and peeled to remove any dirt and impurities.
- Drying & Milling: The peeled roots are dried, then finely ground into a flour consistency to create a fine, powdery texture.
- Sieving & Quality Control: The flour is sieved to ensure uniform particle size and to remove any coarse particles or impurities, followed by rigorous quality checks for consistency and purity.
Key Features:
- Organic: Produced from 100% organic konjac root, free from synthetic pesticides or chemicals.
- Gluten-Free: Naturally gluten-free, making it a perfect flour substitute for gluten-intolerant individuals.
- Rich in Fiber: High in glucomannan, a soluble fiber known to support digestive health and help control appetite.
