Nature's Superfoods Organic Yacon Root Syrup is made from Yacon roots that are found in the Andes of Peru and Ecuador, and is traditionally used as a means to control blood sugar and improve digestion. It is ideal as a prebiotic, low-calorie food for those on weight-control diets, cancer-fighting diets, for diabetics and for those who want to avoid calorie-laden processed snacks.
YACON ROOT SYRUP: Naturally contains 35-50% FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides) and a low proportion of simple sugars. The sweetness comes from a high concentration of inulin, a complex sugar that breaks down slowly into fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). Yacon also boasts a good amount of minerals such as potassium, calcium, phosphorous and iron, as well as 20 amino acids. It also contains a rich amount of antioxidants and glyconutrients.
