Premium Quality Konjac Powder for Thickening and Binding

The main raw material for Konjac Powder is the Konjac plant (scientific name: Amorphophallus konjac), a perennial herb from the Araceae family. Konjac primarily grows in mountainous areas at altitudes of 400 to 1500 meters, and it is harvested once a year in October. China is the leading producer of Konjac, accounting for approximately 70% of the global Konjac production. The tuber of the Konjac plant is rich in a polymer called Konjac Glucomannan (KGM), which possesses strong water absorption (it can expand 40-100 times its original size), as well as thickening, film-forming, emulsifying, and gelling properties.
