A South American tuber that looks like a jicima and tastes like an apple, yacon’s health benefits and taste have long been appreciated on its native soils. Navitas Naturals Yacon Syrup is an organic sweetener that tastes somewhat like molasses, and can be used to enhance the flavor of any food needing an extra sweet touch. Plus, with half the calories of cane sugar, and also containing a high concentration of the indigestible sugar inulin, yacon is not just sweet to the palate, but a friendly dietary addition for diabetics and those looking to cut calories.
Source and Processing
Navitas Naturals Yacon is grown in the Oxapampa region of the Peruvian Andes. The syrup is extracted from yacon roots that have been washed and peeled, double filtered, and flash pasteurized to preserve the nutrients. This product contains 100% pure yacon syrup that is certified organic, raw, gluten-free, kosher, vegan.
