“Soy fiber & Konjac” and “Soy milk & Soy fiber”
-
“Soy fiber & Konjac” and “Soy milk & Soy fiber”
- The Kozawa Foods recommended export products are “Soy fiber & Konjac” and “Soy milk & Soy fiber”.
Both products can be eaten as is without having to cook them after opening the packages.
“Soy fiber & Konjac” is a new ingredient that is low calorie, low fat, sugar-free, and gluten-free. It is a mixture of “fresh soy fiber” (made by boiling soybeans grown in Ibaraki Prefecture in an iron pot and squeezing out the soy pulp) and Ibaraki produced “Konjac powder” that are minced together for easy consumption.
Since this product is flavorless and odorless, you can use it instead of rice or meat and not only keep the deliciousness, but also lower the amount of calories of your meals.
Our recommended recipe is a “Tabbouleh style salad” made by simply mixing fresh vegetables and “Soy fiber & Konjac”.
By using “Soy fiber & Konjac” instead of the granulated pasta, “couscous”, the recipe is made easier as there is no need for prior preparations.
