Exceptionally sweet with a low glycemic index.

Grown in the Andes for generations by the Inca and their descendants, Yacon is related to sunflowers with large, succulent tuber roots that have a
juicy, watermelon flavor. From this we produce an exceptionally sweet syrup which can be used like honey or maple syrup.  Exceptionally sweet with a low glycemic index, and rich in Fructooligosaccharides (FOS).

Use one spoonful of Yacon Syrup any way you would normally use honey, maple syrup or molasses. Yacon imparts a fruity, honey-like flavor to most foods or baked goods. Use in place of honey for cooking, as a topping over yogurt, cereal or to sweeten juices and smoothies. Please keep refrigerated after opening.

Low glycemic alternative to honey

For generations, the Inca and their descendants have grown Yacon in the Andes. This plant is related to sunflowers and has large, succulent tuber roots with a delicious watermelon flavor. We use these roots to make a sweet syrup, similar to honey or maple syrup. With its low glycemic index and high levels of Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), this syrup is a wonderfully sweet and healthy addition to any diet.
