Yacon syrup is a delicious sweetener with unique properties, as it is essentially made up of Fructo-Oligosaccharides (known by the abbreviation FOS). It is therefore a prebiotic with a low glycemic index. This product is exceptional in cooking, in dietetics, for weight loss against diabetes and for improving intestinal health.
Yacon (smallantus sonchifolius), also known as "earth pear", is a tuberous perennial related to Jerusalem artichokes and sunflowers. Its flower stalks can reach 2m in height, and its tuber is characterized by a slightly sweet taste, reminiscent of apple and watermelon. It grows spontaneously in Andean regions (Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, etc.), in mountainous areas at altitudes of around 2000m. Some populations eat it as a fruit, others as a vegetable.
