But what is Konjac anyway?
A native plant from Yunnan, a province in China, the Konjac plant (also known as the Devil's tongue) is a perennial plant classified as a member of the Araceae family.
The Konjac plant has an edible fleshy underground stem called a corm (yam). In Asian cuisine, the corm is used as flour or a vegan substitute for gelatin. If you are familiar with Shirataki noodles, it is made from Konjac's corm.
Although this plant is usually a food additive or a dietary supplement, its uses don't end there. Asians have been using Konjac sponges as part of their body cleaning tool even before the hype started.
Konjac sponges are from natural Konjac plant fiber. It is a soft natural sponge that can be used even for babies' delicate skin. It is an eco-friendly alternative to washcloths.
