What is organic konjac flour?
Organic Konjac Flour is a natural soluble fiber derived from Amorphophallus konjac tubers, offering 90% glucomannan content for calorie-free thickening and satiety enhancement. We also supply Organic Glucomannan Powder, a purified konjac extract with ultra-high viscosity, and Mannooligosaccharides (MOS), a prebiotic fiber byproduct that selectively feeds beneficial gut bacteria, completing our trio of gut-health solutions.
