Yacon is a native plant of the Andes Mountains; it is grown in the special climate conditions of the high altitude valleys. It has thick and extensive roots that store all kinds of minerals, vitamins and a unique type of sugar called the FOS (fructooligosaccharide), which is composed mainly of a type of fructose that can not be absorbed by humans because the human body has no enzymes to hydrolyze it; so it passes through the digestive tract un-metabolized, providing the very few calories.

YACON products are perfect for people who want to follow a healthy diet, yet at the same time want to enjoy a sweet taste without getting the full calories and sugar that regular sweeteners and sweet products provide. So YACON products are also great for people with diabetics or for simple dieters because of its low sugar and low calorie attributes.
