AcanChia® Yacon Syrup

The juice obtained from Yacon roots is used to produce adark colored syrup.

This syrup is a healthy alternative to sugar, honey or ma-ple syrup. Because of its low glycemic index, Yacon syrupdoes not lead to a strong increase in blood sugar levels.Because of the high content of fructooligosaccharides – upto 50% – Yacon syrup has prebiotic properties and a com-paratively low amount of calories. Nevertheless, Yacon syrup still contains the beneficial minerals and nutrients from the Yacon roots.

Yacon syrup is suited as sweetener for diabetics or as a tasty alternative to commonly used sweeteners. Further-more it can be used to support diets in order to loose weight.

What is

AcanChia® Yacon?

The Yacon plant (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is endemic to the Andes. The plant forms big edible tubers with a high content of water and healthy nutrients. Yacon plants which are grown in Germany at a warm sunny climate, reach a height up to two meters. In subtropical regions the plant can reach a height of up to three meters. During the storage of the freshly harvested Yacon tubers, they develop an enjoyable sweet-ness that can be compared to melon, pear or nashi-fruit.

Special properties of

AcanChia® Yacon

The outstanding attribute of Yacon is its unique way of storing sugar. In Yacon, carbohydrates are not stored as starch but prevalently as inulin or fructooligosaccharides (FOS). These sugars cannot be digested in the human small intestine and migrate to the large intestine as fib-re. Because of that Yacon roots have prebiotic properties and do not lead to an excessive rise of the blood sugar levels. Therefore, Yacon is perfectly suited for diabetics. Consumption of Yacon within an inulin containing diet can help to loose weight. The present FOS in Yacon roots have only few calories, 2 kcal/1g.

Beyond that, Yacon roots contain important mineral nu-trients such as iron, magnesium and potassium as wellas vitamin B1, B2 and C. Due to its healthy and valuablesubstances Yacon is called a “Superfood”.
