@fitfilipino · Fitness creator

"Shirataki rice you can actually find in a real supermarket, at a price that makes sense. This is huge for diabetic Filipinos like my mom."

Manila Wellness Weekly · Health feature

"Clean ingredients, guilt-free bowl. My clients on keto swear by Root Rice for the price-to-nutrition ratio."

Coach Mia R. · Registered Nutritionist-Dietitian

"My dad was just diagnosed as pre-diabetic. Swapping to Root Rice made the transition easy — same kanin feel, blood sugar stays steady. Worth every peso."

Angela T. · Daughter & home cook, Quezon City

"I've tried three different shirataki brands. Melching is the only one I keep re-buying — texture is closest to Filipino rice, and I don't need to mask the flavor."

Kim L. · Keto mom of two, Cebu

"We stock Power Grain at the box as our post-WOD rice of choice. 6g protein per serving, clean carbs — clients ask me about it every week."

Everything you want to know about shirataki rice.

Shirataki rice is a low-calorie, low-carb rice alternative made from the Japanese konjac root (Amorphophallus konjac), also called “konnyaku” in Japan. It’s naturally high in dietary fiber, gluten-free, low in sugar, and perfect for keto, diabetic, vegan, and weight-management lifestyles — giving you the comfort of a rice bowl without the caloric weight.
Yes. Research has shown that regular consumption of konjac products helps support healthier blood glucose control in people with Type 2 Diabetes. Every Melching SKU is low in sugar and has significantly lower carbs than white rice, making it a smart choice as part of a diabetic-friendly diet. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized dietary advice.
Melching is available in leading Philippine supermarkets including Robinsons Supermarket, Shopwise, SM Hypermarket, SM Supermarket, The Marketplace, Metro Supermarket, Real Food, The Vegan Grocer, Cash & Carry, Royal Duty Free, One World Deli, Gourmet Corner, and more. You can also shop online via Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop with nationwide delivery.
It depends on your goal. Root Rice is our value-friendly everyday choice. Against The Grain is our premium offering for discerning consumers. Power Grain delivers high protein for athletes and gym-goers. Murataki is our most accessible SKU, ideal for starter packs and mass distribution. All four share the core benefits of shirataki konjac rice.
Yes — all Melching rice products are 100% vegan, keto-friendly, gluten-free, fat-free, and free from preservatives. Our core ingredients are konjac flour, rice flour, and water (with added soy protein in Power Grain for fitness goals).
It’s simple — rinse, drain, and cook just like you would regular rice, using your rice cooker or stovetop. Most of our SKUs cook in under 20 minutes. Use the 1:1 water-to-rice ratio as a starting point and adjust to your preferred texture. Mix with white or brown rice if you’re transitioning — it’s a gentler way to start.
Yes. All Melching products meet Philippine FDA standards, ensuring safety, consistency, and retail-readiness. We maintain strict production protocols to protect the quality your family deserves.
Absolutely. We offer wholesale and bulk supply for stores, restaurants, meal plans, and wellness businesses, plus white-label development for brands launching their own shirataki line. Reach us at melchingbusinessdevt@gmail.com or call 0917 300 6330.
