100% Organic Peruvian Yacon

Apple of the Earth - Smallanthus sonchifolius

Yacon is grown in the Andes, thrives in high mountain valleys and produces a dense root system loaded with minerals, vitamins and complex chemicals. Yacon root is particularly valuable as a health-food because it contains inulin, a complex sugar that the human body does not have the enzymes to break down in the digestive track, while it does promotes healthy probiotics in the colon,. For this reason, it is celebrated as an alternative sweetener for those with sensitivities, hypertension and diabetes.
