FAQ

They are often called miracle noodles or konjac noodles. They're made from glucomannan, a type of fiber that comes from the root of the konjac plant. Konjac grows in Japan, China, and Southeast Asia. It contains very few digestible carbs — but most of its carbs come from glucomannan fiber ( 2 ).
Konnyaku is extremely healthy. It has no carbohydrates (making it great for people on a keto, or low-carb diet) and is high in glucomannan, a natural, water-soluble, dietary fiber.
Konjac jelly, or konnyaku (こんにゃく), is made from the starchy konjac plant, which belongs to the same family as the taro and the yam. The elephant foot yam and devil's tongue are alternative names for the konjac plant. People grow the plant in various parts of Asia, which has been in China for centuries.

While the konjac noodles seem like a miracle discovery with few calories and carbohydrates, I would caution you to consume them in moderation like you would any other food.
