Kick Back with Konjac Facts

Kick Back with Konjac Facts

This is it. The list of everything you could possibly want to know about konjac, the not-so-secret plant-based ingredient we use to give Zellee its fun jel texture without having to use gelatin. It’s a vegan miracle!

  • Konjac is a plant that grows in parts of Asia.
  • It is pronounced con-jack. Not to be confused with cognac, pronounced kown-yak. Konjac for everyone, cognac for the adults once the kids are in bed.
  • Konjac is also known as amorphophallus, but that’s a lot harder to say (and spell), so we’re sticking to konjac.
  • Konjac is used as a gelatin substitute and to thicken or add texture to foods.
  • It’s known for its starchy corm.
  • If you read corn above, you read that wrong. The corm is part of the stem that grows underground and is used to make a rich source of soluble dietary fiber.
  • Konjac is used in traditional Japanese cuisine and Chinese medicine.
  • Konjac is a pretty cool looking plant.
  • Are you still reading this bulleted list about Konjac? Cool. It’s over now.
