TL:DR:
The “miracle” in these miracle noodles comes from konjac fiber. It’s also known as glucomannan or konjac glucomannan. Konjac glucomannan is a soluble fiber — the type that binds with water and forms a gel in your digestive tract.
That means the fiber in shirataki noodles is similar to the soluble fiber in foods like beans, oats, barley, and apples. It has health benefits not only for your blood sugar but also throughout your body. It’s great for cholesterol, weight management, and gut health.
