konjac
Konjac ( ; ''Amorphophallus konjac''; syn. ''A. rivieri''; Japanese: 蒟蒻/菎蒻; こんにゃく; ''konnyaku''; (朝鮮語:곤약); ''gonyak''; ), also known as konjak, konjaku, konnyaku potato, devil's tongue, voodoo lily, snake palm, or elephant yam (though this name is also used for ''A. paeoniifolius''), is a plant of the genus ''Amorphophallus''. It is native to warm subtropical to tropical eastern Asia, from Japan and China south to Indonesia (USDA hardiness Zone 6-11). It is a perennial plant, growing from a large corm up to 25 cm in diameter. The single leaf is up to 1.3 m across, bipinnate, and divided into numerous leaflets.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Amorphophallus Konjac )〕 The flowers are produced on a spathe enclosed by a dark purple spadix up to 55 cm long.
The food made from the corm of this plant is widely known in English by its Japanese name, konnyaku (yam cake), being cooked and consumed primarily in Japan. The two basic types of cake are white and black. Pushing the cake through a grid of sharp blades at the end of a wooden box gives noodles, called Shirataki, which are also sold in white and black colors.
The corm of the konjac is often colloquially referred to as a yam, although it bears no marked relation to tubers of the family ''Dioscoreaceae''.
==History==
Konjac has been known in Japan since the sixth century as a medicinal food, and it has been eaten for 1500 years. In 1846, the publication of the book ''Konnyaku Hyakusen'' (100 recipes of Konnyaku) demonstrates its popularity in the Edo period.
