Ingredients (5)

- Konjac Flour (glucomannan) (safe) — Soluble fiber from konjac root that gels with water; can help blunt blood sugar and aid satiety.
- Calcium Hydroxide (firming agent) (moderate) — Food-grade alkali used to set the konjac gel; safe in the tiny amounts used here, common in nixtamalized foods.
- Soybean Flour (safe) — Minor whole-bean flour adding a little plant protein and structure.
- Oatmeal Flour (safe) — Minor whole-grain oat flour; small amount of fiber and starch.
