Even though thirty years ago Asian foods like tofu, soymilk, and shiitake mushrooms were novelties reserved for hard-core \u2018foodies\u2019, these foods have been enthusiastically embraced by the public and are considered commonplace.<\/p>\n<p>Now there is a new \u201ckid\u201d on the block! Konjac is another traditional staple being introduced as an ingredient with amazing versatility and health benefits. Konjac, pronounced \u2018kon-jack\u2019, is also known as konjaku, konnyaku, and elephant yam. It is native to warm, sub tropical countries like Southeast Asia and Indonesia where it has been used for thousands of years as an everyday food. It is extremely popular in traditional Japanese cuisine where most of us have enjoyed it as oden or shirataki noodles, as well as a dessert. Where It is often used as a vegan substitute for conventional, animal-based gelatin.<\/p>\n<p>In the US, Konjac is being introduced to consumers in products like weight loss supplements, (Konjac has almost no calories, but is very high in dietary fiber!), and even in a facial cleansing sponge.\u00a0 Konjac holds the flavor of other spices, herbs, and ingredients very well, so vegan visionaries are able to create amazingly innovative products with it. So, the most exciting development is its use in food like noodles and vegan seafood alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>The Konjac plant is known for its large, starchy corms used for texture, and not its mild flavor. The dried corm of the Konjac plant is about 40% polysaccharide which makes it viscous and imparts a gelatin-like affect. It gives a satiety sensation, and has\u00a0 been studied as an ingredient that may mitigate \u00a0the transport of cholesterol, and may also be an effective hypoglycemic and hypo-insulinemic agent.<\/p>\n<p>Just like tofu and soymilk, konjac will find its way onto the consumers\u2019 plate more and more often as vegan visionaries look to traditional staples for nutrition, versatility, texture, and health!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4066\" title=\"SK GlutenSoy Free\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/SK-GlutenSoy-Free-Artwork.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"549\" height=\"198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/SK-GlutenSoy-Free-Artwork.png 549w, https:\/\/www.happycow.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/SK-GlutenSoy-Free-Artwork-300x108.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Vegan Seafood is not a paradox:\u00a0 it is now part of the vegan revolution!\u00a0 Sophie\u2019s Kitchen Vegan Seafood is for those who love plant-based foods, vegans, vegetarians, and those with seafood allergies.
