Haven't tried making the ice cream with strawberries yet. I've been meaning to send this to you. We've been using it in recipes for a couple of months now. It really adds a wonderful flavor to some of the recipes we make like plantain pancakes and walnut bread.



Yacon’s Health Benefits

The sugar in the root and syrup consists primarily of fructooligosacharides (FOS). These sugars are not digested by the body and therefore yacon is great for calorie reduced and low sugar diets.

FOS is also a prebiotic which helps create a healthy bacterial probiotic environment in the gut. FOS also contains fiber which helps to prevent constipation and keeps the colon functioning well. FOS has also been shown in animal studies to:


  • Promote calcium absorption
  • Reduce cholesterol levels
  • Strengthen the immune system
  • Reduces cancerous lesions in the colon
The roots and leaves are high in polyphenols. Polyphenols are a type of anti-oxidant that has been shown useful in the prevention of cancer and heart disease.

Yacon leaf, which is also high in polyphenols, has traditionally been used in South America as an aid for diabetes. Studies have shown yacon leaf to reduce blood glucose levels in diabetic and non-diabetic rats.

Yacon syrup has important glyconutrients and antioxidants that are also beneficial for human health.
