Description: Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is a perennial plant native to the Andean regions of South America, known for its sweet, tuberous roots. Often referred to as the "Andean sweet root," Yacon produces crisp, juicy, and mildly sweet tubers that are commonly consumed fresh or used in syrups and teas. The plant can grow up to 2 meters tall, with large, arrow-shaped leaves and daisy-like flowers. Yacon is celebrated for its health benefits, particularly its high content of fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a type of prebiotic fiber that promotes gut health and aids digestion. The tubers are also low in calories and rich in antioxidants, making them a popular choice for people seeking a healthy, natural alternative to sugary foods. Easy to grow in a variety of climates, Yacon is becoming increasingly popular worldwide for its nutritional value and versatility in cooking.
