In what environment does konjac grow?

Konjac likes warmth and fears cold, but avoids high temperatures. It can be planted in areas with an annual average temperature of 14℃~20℃. The starting temperature for konjac growth is 5℃, and the most suitable temperature is 20℃~25℃. Temperatures below 15℃ or above 35℃ are not suitable for konjac growth. Konjac seedlings require 15℃~20℃ for growth. If the temperature is too low, the effective growth time of konjac is short, the annual weight gain multiple is low, and the tubers may suffer from frost damage; if the temperature is too high, the leaves of konjac are easily burned, causing the disease of konjac to worsen, and even directly leading to the death of konjac plants. Therefore, konjac is not suitable for large-scale planting in low-altitude areas with higher temperatures, nor is it suitable for development in high-altitude areas with abnormally cold climates and insufficient annual effective accumulated temperature. It should be noted that soil temperature (ground temperature) also has a great influence on the growth of konjac, especially in low mountains or excessively high ground temperatures often lead to poor growth of konjac, or even mass death.

Can konjac lower cholesterol?

Can.

Konjac contains a kind of polysaccharide that can lower the cholesterol in our blood, because after we use this polysaccharide, it will have a very strong expansion force, which can fill our stomach and intestines, and then it has a good inhibitory effect on the stomach and intestines' absorption of cholesterol, and can also promote the excretion of cholesterol. And the water-soluble fiber contained in konjac can also keep the stomach and intestines from absorbing sugars, thereby lowering blood sugar. Moreover, konjac is a very famous weight loss food. It has low calories, low fat content, and low sugar content, but it is very high in crude fiber, so it can play a very good role in weight loss. Although konjac does not contain much calcium, the calcium contained in konjac is easily absorbed by our body.
