   Japan has created some interesting and innovated 1 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 2 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”。
  木头制成的面条,你想吃吗
  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 3 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。
  ‘We’re entering the food business,’ said Takashi Asami, manager at Omikenshi’s strategic material development department in a recent interview.
  Omikenshi战略物资发展部经理村上麻美在采访中说:“我们将进军食品行业。”
  “Demand for diet food is strong and looks promising 4, while the Japanese textile market is saturated 5 and threatened by rising imports’.
  “减肥食品的市场需求很强,这一市场很有前景,而日本纺织品市场已经饱和,且面临进口增加的威胁。”
  Asami noted 6, other noodles that use konjac aren't flying off shelves, but the wood pulp adds more flavor and texture 7 that the other noodles are lacking.
  麻美指出,目前市面上的魔芋面条不够畅销,但木浆面条为市场注入了新的风味和口感,而这正是其他同类产品欠缺的。
  Omikensh plans to spend about 1 billion yen on manufacturing cell-eat in its textile plant.
  Omikensh公司计划在“胞食”项目上投资10亿日元,在其纺织品工厂投入生产。
  Production of the fiber-rich flour is set to begin next year at 30 tons a month.
  富含纤维的面粉将于明年投产,计划每月产出30吨。
  ‘It can be used as a substitute for wheat in products ranging from ramen, pasta, and Chinese dumplings,’ Asami said.
  麻美说:“它可以作为小麦的替代品,替代你饮食中的拉面、意大利面和中国饺子。”
  ‘We are discussing exporting it to China in the future as obesity 8 is becoming a major problem for children there.’
  “我们正在商讨未来将它出口到中国,因为肥胖在中国已经成为儿童的主要健康问题。”
