Abstract
A low-calorie food or foodstuff includes chopped gel-particles of a neutral, complete coagulum including glucomannan as a main component . Such foods include drinks such as fruit drinks, fluid foods such as a potage, and solid foods in coexistence with a natural polysaccharide or edible emulsifier, such as jam, custard pudding and meat balls. The low-calorie foodstuff retains the original particular touch or taste of a food including the gel-particles.
