Loving Earth Organic Yacon Syrup

The yacon root from Peru is a distant relative of the sunflower.  It grows in the warm, temperate Andean valleys at elevations below 3,500 m.  It's delicious edible tubers, which are sweet and low in calories, hold a variety of benefits.  It has a mild sweet flavour and an unusual moist, crunchy texture slightly reminiscent of fresh-picked apple, pineapple and watermelon.

Yacon acts as a pre-biotic and thereby helps the intestines to function efficiently and eliminate toxins and waste products from the body.  It strengthens and activates the good bacilli like L. acidophilus and B. bifidum which in turn helps enhance our immune system and helps suppress putrefacative pathogens such as Candida albicans.

Yacon is a useful sweet food for diabetics because it's carbohydrates are stored in the form of insulin, which release into the bloodstream slowly. 680g.
