Risino by ZenPasta is a rice alternative made with konjac and presented in dry form, without preserving liquid. Its formulation includes tapioca starch. Once cooked, it has a firm texture similar to rice and a neutral taste, without the odor of the hydrated version. The available formats are 50 g and 200 g. The product sheet states “/ Kg” as the pricing mode and includes these references: “50g: 57,26€ / 1kg” and “200g: 49,54€ / 1kg”. Per 100 g cooked it provides 38 kcal, 0.6 g of carbohydrates and 18 g of fiber; it is described as sugar-free and fat-free. 50 g dry become about 225 g cooked: its weight increases about 4.5 times. According to ZenPasta, part of the starch remains in the cooking water, which is discarded. Cook in plenty of boiling water for at least 12 minutes, drain well and rinse with hot water. It can then be stir-fried with other ingredients or sauces. Its neutral taste makes it suitable for stir-fries, curry, poke bowls, salads, soups and broths. It also works in cold preparations, keeping a firm texture.
