It’s a root vegetable. Basically calorie free.

I learned about this from Terrace House when two of the members visited Konnyaku Park

also known as Konnyaku. I think it’s made from sweet potatoes. Shiritaki noodles are made from the same stuff. It’s a *really* common ingredient.

Imagine assuming most people on this sub weren’t familiar with konjac. Maybe try “TIL” instead.

Takes a little getting used to. Basically used for its texture, but it’s not a texture that Westen palates are very interested in. Try chicken iridori for a gentle introduction: https://www.kikkoman.com/en/cookbook/recipe/00000018.html

I’ve had this a few times. It tastes like nothing, and has zero calories, but a nice gummy texture.

Correction called konnyaku. It’s made of the root of the konjac plant. It has no real flavor but absorbs flavors in the liquids it’s cooked in. Like a gelatin that doesn’t melt.
