Yacon is a root indigenous to the Andes of Peru and Bolivia. Also known as the Peruvian Ground Apple or Sunroot, it has been prized since the Incan civilization as a pleasantly sweet tasting tuber. A close relative of the Jerusalem artichoke the tuber’s sweet taste is mainly comprised of Fos or Fructo- oligosaccharides. Fructo-oligosaccharides are a type of dietary sugar that the body does not metabolize. These indigestible carbohydrates support the growth of beneficial bacteria in the colon without a significant impact on blood glucose levels. As a prebiotic, Yacon aids in supporting gastrointestinal health and maintaining the optimal growth and balance of beneficial bacterial.
Organic Traditions Yacon Gold™ Syrup is made from the tubers of the Yacon root through a proprietary cold mechanical process. No heat, solvents or chemicals are utilized. The cold process not only ensures that the Fructo-oligosaccharides are not degraded through the processing, but that the syrup has the most natural and delicious taste.
