Yacon Syrup Extracted from the roots of the yacon plant native to the Andes, this dark syrup is rich in fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a type of prebiotic fiber that humans cannot digest. As a result, yacon syrup has minimal calories and a negligible effect on blood sugar, making it suitable for diabetics and weight loss diets. The FOS feed beneficial gut bacteria, improving digestive health and potentially enhancing mineral absorption. It has a sweet, molasses-like flavor, ideal for drizzling over oatmeal or yogurt. Studies suggest yacon may help reduce insulin resistance and support weight management. However, excessive consumption can cause bloating or gas due to fermentation in the gut. Use in moderation for best results.
