Yacon Powder

Description

Yacon is a Peruvian root vegetable that is loaded with nutrition, but even better, it is mildly sweet with a very low glycemic index. We grow yacon organically, freeze dry the root to preserve the nutrients, and grind it into a powder to make it easy to add to smoothies, soups, stews, breads… just about anything.

Yacon is just becoming known in the U.S. but while it’s hard to find yacon products here, it’s not hard to find information about it. Just be aware, though, that we cannot endorse any unsubstantiated health claims about yacon. And it’s always a good idea to check with your doctor when adding a new food like yacon to your diet.
