If you think sweet is unhealthy, yacon root will prove you wrong. Yacon, though deliciously sweet, is a natural dietetic and prebiotic food. The texture and flavor has been described as a cross between a fresh apple and watermelon. Traditionally, yacon has been used in South America both as food and to help control blood sugar and improve digestion. Yacon root is considered the world’s richest natural source of FOS, a form of prebiotic fibre that improves colon health, digestion, and detoxification and strengthens our immune system. Furthermore, while being satisfyingly sweet, yacon root remains low in calories!
