The boom of “sinless pasta” has reached us - who will refuse a portion of delicious pasta that does not threaten the figure in any way! But if Atria Shirataki does not contain calories, then what is in it? The plant itself resembles a giant beetroot, the weight of which can reach 4 kg. It is cultivated in Indonesia and Japan. Konnyaku grows in mountainous areas, where, due to the high altitude, the soil and air are ecologically clean. Almost unknown to the Western world, konnyaku is very popular in Asia, practically giving way to rice. The root konnyaku, from which Atria Shirataki is made, contains a large amount of konjac glucomannan, which is a hydrocolloid polysaccharide. This complex chemical name can be translated into understandable language as follows: glucomannan is a carbohydrate whose molecular structure is broken down quite slowly in the human body, while its molecules are able to “absorb” and retain water. That is why glucomannan is called “a broom for the body”: its cellulose fibers, soaked in water, maintain a feeling of satiety for a long time and stimulate gastric contractions. This cellulose solves the problem of a sharp increase in glucose in the blood, since the sugars contained in the product are released and absorbed extremely slowly. In fact, konjac is 100% fiber, which our body needs so much. Fiber regulates the activity of the gastrointestinal tract, improves digestion. Its beneficial properties for those who want to lose weight have also been proven. The thing is that the body needs more energy than usual to process food rich in fiber. When it gets into the stomach, it increases in volume and contributes to rapid satiety. Accordingly, a person loses up to 150 calories per day, and practically does not change his lifestyle (this is the same amount that is spent during a 20-minute run). Fiber also reduces blood sugar levels. People who regularly consume fiber reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases by 50%. It has a positive effect on diabetes, as well as diseases of the digestive system. Konjac flour is included in the most famous diets. All “magic pasta” are prepared in the same way: the konjac roots are washed, dried and ground, water is added. The resulting dough is then shaped into pasta of the desired shape. Their nutritional value is the same and irreplaceable; any type of shirataki pasta looks like a dream for a person on a diet: no gluten and lactose, 9 calories, 0 fat, 0.2 protein. The glycemic index of shirataki is zero. It is a pity that Atria Shirataki is absolutely sterile not only in terms of macronutrient content, but also in terms of vitamin and mineral content. The only exception is, perhaps, iron — its content in a serving of pasta is 8% of the daily norm for an adult. "Sinless Atria" has a neutral flavor - like a clean canvas, it goes well with any toppings, whether it's tomato passata or meat bolognese.
