yacon syrup??? anyone have an opinion?

[Guest guest]

Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is a distant relative of the sunflower with

edible tubers and

leaves. It is commonly grown and consumed throughout the Adean region. Locally,

the tuber

is often chopped and added to salads, and are also consumed boiled or baked.

Yacon roots

contain important quantities of potassium and antioxidants. Yacon syrup,

pressed from the

roots, has a dark brown color, sweet flavor, and is used as an alternative

glucose free

sweetener and prebiotic with few calories.
