Konjac, also known as Amorphophallus konjac, is a plant that is native to East and Southeast Asia. It is grown in countries like Japan, China, Korea, and Indonesia. The plant is also widely cultivated in other parts of the world, including Europe, North America, and Australia.
The konjac plant grows in rich, well-drained soil and requires warm temperatures and sufficient rainfall. The plant itself consists of a large tuber, which is the part that is used for consumption. This tuber is rich in a dietary fiber called glucomannan.
