When Erica Hughes discovered the incredible fat-stripping effects of the Slendier range, she wanted to shout it to the world. So that’s exactly what she did. The corporate executive quit her job, took the reins of the Australian company and introduced the wonder food to more than 20 countries.
“The first thing we noticed was that people who ate Slendier as a replacement for rice and pasta lost weight and kept it off, without feeling hungry or like they were missing out,” says Erica.
“Then we saw it had broader appeal with people who were managing health-related issues, like diabetes, and those who required specialised eating plans – FODMAP, gluten free or vegan.”
The secret to Slendier’s success is its main ingredient, konjac. The ancient Asian plant contains large amounts of a soluble fibre called glucomannan, which moves slowly through the digestive tract, leaving people feeling fuller for longer.
Best of all, it’s low in calories and carbohydrates, and contains no fat or sugar, meaning you can cave into your cravings for delectable dishes without the guilt.
The Konjac plant is a well known vegetable in Asian countries, widely grown in China, Japan, India and Korea.
Glucomannan is a soluble dietary fibre is derived from the Konjac roots. Glucomannan is a water-soluble polysaccharide which is a dietary fibre that makes you feel fuller for longer and may assist in weight management. Soluble fibre aids the digestive system and may be beneficial for preventing constipation. Soluble fibre can be found in fruits, vegetables, oat bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils and peas.
As the range is made from a root vegetable called Konjac, it is very different to your traditional pasta, noodles and rice. The Slendier range has a neutral taste and is therefore the perfect platform to soak up the flavours of your mealtime sauces. Please see our website for a wide range of recipe ideas.
Slendier has a different consistency than regular pasta, noodles and rice. The texture is al-dente, the colour is translucent and whiter than your regular pasta, noodles or rice.
The Slendier range also retains its texture; as they are pre-cooked. Preparation only takes 1 minute. All you need to do is rinse and you’re ready to go. It will not turn “gluggy or “stodgy” like regular wheat pasta, noodles or rice which generally occurs if you overcook them.

Slendier products have very low levels of fructose. In fact it is less than 0.2 grams per 100g. This makes Slendier a great substitute for many grain based alternatives in a low FODMAP diet.
We suggest that you prepare the whole pack as per instructions on the pack. We recommend a serving of 125g (half of the pack) per person per meal.
The Slendier range has high water content. The range is made from Konjac vegetable flour which has an enormous swelling capacity with water. This means that it will freeze easily, but when the ice crystals melt during thawing, you’re left with soggy limp and inedible food.
The fact that Slendier is significantly lower in calories and carbohydrates compared to regular wheat pasta, rice and noodles it is a fantastic start to eating healthy and limiting your calorie and carbohydrate intake.
We do acknowledge that a balanced diet and regular physical activity may also assist in reaching your sustainable weight management goals so we recommend you seek advice from your health care professional before undertaking a weight loss journey.
