Hi Serene!! (Serene was with me when I bought the fabled yam cake. )

I know that nutritional info is rounded down and you can get a 0 value
when there's actually a fractional amount of <whatever>. But from what
I've heard, konjac is very high in fiber, so I would have expected it to
have a higher amount. I suspect it was labeled incorrectly. Otherwise,
this stuff would have absolutely no nutritional value whatsoever - no
protein, no fat, no carb, no fiber, and no vitamins. I would have a hard
time calling such an object food.
