Organic Yacon Powder (Raw) - 1kg
Yacon Root, also called the Peruvian Ground Apple, has been used as a natural sweetener for centuries by the locals in its native Peruvian Andes. Upon harvest by local communities in Peru, the yacon root is washed, peeled and then either air dried at low temperatures before being milled into our Organic Raw Yacon Powder
This 100% organic yacon root powder is a great low-calorie and low-glycemic sweetener that tastes great and helps keep blood sugar stable throughout the day. Yacon root also has a prebiotic effect, meaning it allows intestinal flora that favour colon and digestive health to flourish.
Use it to sweeten anything from smoothies to raw cookies and energy bars. Our raw Yacon Root Powder is packed with sweet possibilities!
Ingredients: Organic Yacon Powder
Origin: Peru

Enjoy Me...
- Use it to sweeten anything from smoothies to raw cookies and energy bars. It can stand in as a like-for-like sugar substitute by volume, however it is less sweet than sugar.
How Interesting...
- Yacon root is considered the world's richest sources of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a unique type of sugar (inulin) that can't be absorbed by the body. FOS acts as a prebiotic, serving as food for the "friendly", bacteria in the colon, and preclinical studies have indicated that consumption of FOS may help increase bone density and protect against osteoporosis.
