Some nutritionists claim that vegetable extract konjac, also known as Moyu, can stabilise blood-sugar levels and prevent hunger pangs and over-eating. The unusual product smells strongly of starch and needs to be rinsed at least twice under warm water to remove its distinctive odour.
Advocates claim the rice, which is chewier than normal varieties, tricks your brain into thinking you have eaten a full meal. A single portion can create the sensation of being full for up to four hours, the Daily Mail reports.
