木头制成的面条,你想吃吗
Japan's Omikenshi reveals no fat noodles made from trees
Japan has created some interesting and innovated products like selfie sticks, Bento lunchboxes and now, wood noodles.
日本创造出了不少奇趣产品,比如自拍杆、便当,还有如今的"木制面条".
A textile company, that makes fibre rayon, is taking the term 'going green' to a new level by using cloth-making technology to turn tree pulp into noodles.
一家生产人造纤维的纺织公司打算把做衣服的技术应用到食品上——用树浆做面条,达到了践行"绿色生活"的新高度.
Omikenshi, based in Osaka, is turning indigestible cellulose that's mixed with konjac into fiber-rich flour, which the company calls 'cell-eat'.
大阪的"Omikenshi"公司将把混合了魔芋的不易消化的纤维素,加入到富含纤维的面粉中,他们称之为"胞食".
Konjac,also known as 'Devil's Tongue', is a yam-like plant grown in Japan, and is used in making other Japanese noodles like Shirataki noodles.
魔芋也叫"魔鬼之舌",是一种生长在日本的植物,跟芋头很像,常被用来做芋丝面等日本面条.
Omikenshi's cell-eat is fat and gluten-free, low-carb alternative.
Omikenshi的这种"胞食"不含脂肪和谷蛋白,碳水化合物含量也低,是很好的替代食品.
It has just 27 calories per pound, compared to 1,538 calories in a pound of wheat.
相比一磅小麦的1538卡路里,它每磅只有27卡路里的热量.
Omikenshi is betting on a health-food market worth 1.2 trillion yen in 2013, more than double the level two decades earlier according to Japan's Consumer Affairs Agency.
据日本消费者事务署统计,2013年Omikenshi在保健食品市场投资1.2万亿日元,是20年前的两倍多.
