Dried Yacon Root Pieces | Naturally Sweet Peruvian Super Fruit
Yacon is a remarkable root vegetable native to the Andes of Peru, with a taste and texture similar to parsnip but with a naturally sweet edge. Traditionally enjoyed in its native region, yacon is especially valued for its naturally high content of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) — a form of sugar that passes through the body without being absorbed, making it an excellent choice for those looking to reduce sugar intake.
Because of its unique status, the whole yacon root is not permitted for export from Peru, which is why it remains less familiar in the West. And until relatively recently, yacon was restricted under the EU Novel Foods Act, only approved for sale in the EU in 2014. Now, this once-hidden treasure is available for all to enjoy.
Naturally low in calories and with a glycaemic index of just 1, yacon offers gentle, balanced sweetness without raising blood glucose levels — great news for anyone watching their sugar intake. Alongside stevia, it stands as one of our top recommendations for those seeking natural sugar alternatives.
Discover the natural sweetness of yacon — a rare Andean gem.

Yummy snack
"Lovely to munch on as a convenient snack, slightly sweet but not overpowering, like sweet potato. I can tell it has prebiotic benefits so both yummy and beneficial!"
Healthy Sweet and tasty Snack!
"I had never heard of Yacon root, until Kate Magic talked about it at one of her 'The Magic Kitchen' online Q&As. Like me, she has cut out added sugars from her diet, and said she sweetens most of her food with stevia and Yacon root, so of course I had to try Yacon root out. It is now without a doubt one of my favourite foods! I absolutely adore dried mango, and this is very similar. The quality of this yacon root is very good, and you get a good amount for your money. If you haven't tried it, and you have a sweet tooth like me, then what are you waiting for?"
Great quality

"it is fantastic, I use it as a snack when I am in meetings or training and it really does the trick, it is nice and chewy so very satisfying and I dont need to have very much of it. A little goes a long way."
