Yacon Root is a unique tuber from the Andes, prized for its incredible crispness and refreshing, juicy sweetness. Its flavor is a delightful mix of apple, pear, and celery. It is most often eaten raw, sliced into salads or eaten as a fruit, as its texture is remarkably crunchy. Yacon is also known for being high in FOS (fructooligosaccharides), a prebiotic that is not easily digested, making it low in calories. We supply fresh, firm roots for the health and gourmet markets.
