Le konjac est en fait un tubercule, et l'on extrait de ce tubercule une substance à la propriété étonnante ; en effet le glucomanane a la capacité d'absorber pas moins de 100 fois son volume d'eau, ce qui lui confère le pouvoir de former un gel volumineux et de grande viscosité dans l'estomac. Le gel que forme le konjac dans l'estomac n'est en aucun cas assimilé par l'organisme et n'apporte donc pas de calories. 3, record 1, French, - konjac
