Konjac is a root vegetable native to Asia and commonly found in Japan, China, and Vietnam. The root is naturally rich in glucomannan, the fibre that gives nuPasta its unique nutritional benefits.

Shirataki, konnyaku, and nuPasta are all foods made from konjac. What makes nuPasta different is our unique formula, which includes 2% non-GMO soy to create a softer, more pasta like texture.

nuPasta contains 2% non GMO soybean, which is used to soften the texture and create a more pasta like appearance.

We offer both plain nuPasta and convenient meal kits that include sauce.

All nuPasta varieties contain the same pasta nutrition profile: the pasta itself contains only 25 calories per 210g serving. For meal kits, the sauce adds approximately 150 calories, keeping each complete meal under 200 calories.

Traditional wheat pasta absorbs about twice its weight in water during cooking.  A 210g serving of cooked pasta has 70g of starch which contains roughly 280 calories.

Konjac, however, absorbs nearly 20 times its weight in water. A 210g serving of nuPasta contains only 6g of fibre, resulting in just 25 calories per serving.

Because nuPasta is fibre based, it has a slightly chewier texture than traditional pasta. Many people compare it to rice noodles, but lighter, since nuPasta is starch free.

nuPasta is designed to absorb the flavour of your sauce, making it a versatile option for a wide variety of dishes.

nuPasta is shelf stable and can be stored at room temperature in your pantry.

Do not freeze nuPasta, as freezing permanently damages the texture.

Once opened, unused portions can be refrigerated for up to one week. Cooked nuPasta mixed with sauce can be refrigerated for up to two days and should be reheated thoroughly before eating.

Like tofu, konjac based foods must be stored in water to maintain their shape and texture.

You may notice a slight odor when opening the package. This comes from trimethylamine, a naturally occurring compound found in konjac. Simply rinse the pasta thoroughly before cooking.

nuPasta should never be frozen. Cold temperatures cause water to separate from the konjac fibres, resulting in a stringy or dehydrated texture.

If your nuPasta appears damaged or frozen, please contact us at info@nupasta.com and we’ll be happy to help replace your product.

In short, yes! Many functional foods add vitamins or nutrients to support overall wellness. nuPasta adds fibre to a diet, which is an important nutrient many people overlook. As a result, nuPasta satisfies hunger without adding many calories, making it ideal for weight management. 

As with any fibre rich food, moderation is recommended. Consuming too much fibre at once may cause bloating, indigestion, or gastrointestinal discomfort.

Yes! Konjac based foods have been consumed for centuries and are widely recognized as safe.

nuPasta products are manufactured in facilities with top BRC (GFSI) ratings and are certified Ketogenic, USDA Organic, and Gluten Free.

Because nuPasta is high in fibre, we recommend consuming less than one package per meal. Excessive fibre intake may cause digestive discomfort or, in rare extreme cases, gastrointestinal blockage.
