How to choose konjak products
At present, konjak products on the market include konjak pieces, konjak shreds, konjak meal substitute powder, etc. careful citizens will find that these konjak products are different in shape and color, so they are inevitably a little confused.
In fact, the difference in color is only due to different processing methods. Konjak is poisonous and cannot be eaten directly. If it is eaten, grind the tuber, wash the juice with water, add lime, boil it and then coagulate it to make it into an gel like edible form. In short, the rough processed konjak products are dark and brown, with relatively coarse particles and a little fishy smell. Konjak products with fine processing degree are generally off white in color, with almost no impurities, and the particles are also very uniform without fishy smell. Many konjak meal substitutes are refined, so they are generally white.
When purchasing konjak processed products, you should carefully read the ingredient list. If the ingredient is konjak, the main nutritional value is not much different from konjak pieces.
After processing, konjak shreds generally only need to be stored in cold storage. When eating, there is almost no fishy smell, and there is no heavy flavor matching. They can be used to make soup, etc.
