Yacon – what is it anyway?

Those who don't know yacon yet may need some time to get used to the word. It sounds so exotic and uncommon, but at least pronouncing the word doesn't make your tongue dizzy like ashwagandha or baobab. But what exactly is yacon (intonation on the second syllable)? Yacon is a plant belonging to the Smallanthus genus. It comes from South America and has been grown over there for millennia. Yacon leaves are used for medicinal tea, but the most beloved part of the plant is the tuber. It can be eaten both raw and cooked. Due to their pleasant sweetness, the sweet potato like tuber is often processed into juice or syrup, the latter of which has become increasingly popular here in Europe. So that you don't need to be in FoMo (fear of missing out), you can order the delicious syrup from us!

Yacon syrup as an alternative to regular sugar

We know what you must be thinking: there are almost as many sugar alternatives as sand at the beach. Whether its maple syrup, agave syrup, date syrup, coconut syrup or rice syrup – it has become very easy (partly thanks to KoRo) to replace conventional sugar. Yet we are now offering yacon syrup as well, why would we do that? There is a good reason (or several good reasons) for this, we don't add just any products to our selection. Our organic yacon syrup is a great alternative to refined sugar that more and more people are trying to avoid. The yacon helps, because its carbohydrates are naturally stored as fructooligosaccharides (FOS). You have probably heard of FOS under the name oligofructose, as a sugar replacement. They contain 30-50% of the sweetening power of sugar, yet they are extremely low in calories and are metabolized into fibre (inulin) by your body.

What does yacon syrup taste like? 

Most of all, the flavour is sweet, who would have thought? The sweetness is not as strong as refined sugar, which you should keep in mind when following recipes. We think that this is one of the positives of yacon syrup, because your desserts don't get overly sweet if you happen to drop a spoonful in by accident. The syrup's flavour could be described as caramel-like, making it great to refine desserts such as cake, cookies or energy balls. Your morning porridge or smoothie can also benefit from a spoonful of yacon syrup. One last little hint: use our organic yacon syrup to sweeten drinks like your pumpkin spiced latte or iced-coffee.
