What is yacon syrup?

Yacon is a tuber that is grown in warm and temperate areas of the Andes Mountains. In Peru it is widely known for its crunchy texture and sweet taste. Yacon can be confused many times with sweet potato or yucca, but it has a lighter texture and the taste is quite sweet. In addition, it can be found in different presentations such as tea, syrup, powder, capsules and even flours. According to studies, the main substances in fresh yacon roots are: water, carbohydrates, protein, and lipids. The content of carbohydrates in the dry matter of yacon roots is approximately 94%. Apart from free sugars, e.g., glucose, fructose, and sucrose, yacon roots store carbohydrates in the form of fructans, unlike most plant roots in the human diet that store carbohydrates in the form of starch. Among its benefits are the improvement of problems in blood, insulin, digestion, bones, etc. that allows us to nourish ourselves and enjoy this wonderful peruvian superfood.
