In 2013, my husband and I, both pharmacists, developed a specialized recipe from the root of Organic Konjac plants, Purified water and Organic Oat Fiber. One day, I decided to try and make a pizza crust using Glucomannan. The outcome was a horrible gel-like mass, instead of pizza. After further research, I discovered that Glucomannan comes from a plant called Konjac, which is used to make Konjac flour. The Japanese have been using this flour to make healthier noodles and pasta for centuries. So, in October 2010, I researched manufacturers, tried lots of samples and I hated what I tasted at first. However, by 2013 we had developed a completely new recipe called Juroat (Konjac flour and Oat fiber), which gives the pasta a better bite, a better texture and the look of real pasta.
At Better Than Foods, we have a range of healthy and tasty pasta, noodles and rice alternatives. Our Organic Konjac range is made from organic Konjac flour from the Konjac plant. Our latest addition is the Instant Konjac range made from a unique blend of ingreients that gives our konjac a texture far better than regular konjac and without the need of water, so there’s no need to drain or rinse.
