About Skinny pasta

Skinny Pasta, often made from konjac root (Amorphophallus konjac), is a plant-based noodle alternative originating from East Asia, particularly Japan and China. It is part of traditional cuisine and valued for its extremely low calorie and carbohydrate content. Konjac root is ground into a flour, mixed with water, and shaped into various pasta forms. Skinny Pasta typically contains fiber as its main macronutrient, especially glucomannan, a soluble fiber known for its ability to absorb water and expand in the stomach. One serving (100g) contains only about 10-15 calories, negligible protein, fats, and carbohydrates (virtually no sugars), making it an appealing choice for calorie-conscious individuals.
