"I love the taste of this yacon syrup. It’s not as sweet as honey but still has a rounded sweet flavour. Plus the added benefits of it being a prebiotic & not spiking sugar levels. Great quality from Raw Living as always."

Yacon Syrup | The Healthier Choice for Natural Sweetness
*Stock dated - Better Before 1st July 2026*
Yacon Syrup is a rich, malty sweetener with a subtle, natural sweetness. It's perfect for spreading on bread or crackers, where its deep flavour can really shine. Unlike other sweeteners, yacon isn’t overpoweringly sweet — so if you have a serious sweet tooth, it might not fully satisfy your cravings. But if you’re looking for one of the healthiest, most balanced natural sweeteners available, yacon is an excellent choice. Loved for its low glycaemic profile and gentle sweetness, it’s a fantastic way to enjoy a touch of indulgence while keeping your wellbeing in mind.
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.
Nutritional highlights:
- Fructooligosaccharides (FOS): A prebiotic fibre that supports healthy digestion
- Low glycaemic index (GI of 1): Does not raise blood glucose levels
- Potassium: Contributes to normal muscle function and electrolyte balance
- Antioxidants: Help to protect cells from oxidative stress
Discover the natural sweetness of yacon — a rare Andean gem.

Reviews
Useful way to add a little sweetness.
"Sweet but not too sweet, I find it useful when I want to add a little something that also won't mess with blood sugar levels. The bottle lasts a long time."
Delicious Syrup
"Delicious undertones of fudge! Add to coffee or yogurt, haven't used it in baking but could replace sugar in recipes requiring sugar syrup, however, heating i would presumably kill the prebiotic goodness. So maybe stick with no heat recipes."
Healthier than other natural sweeteners.
"This is the best quality Yacon I can find as it is high in FOS. I use it in my low sugar flapjacks with apple purée and Stevia. Yum!"
"Excellent quality Naturally healthy"
Yakon
"Was very happy with my yahob syrup"
I am pleased with my
"I am pleased with my order of YACON SYRUP. It has a lovely sweet toffee like flavour and is great drizzled on plain yogurt or fruit. I have it in coffee instead of honey, although not as sweet as honey it suits me as I haven't got a very sweet tooth. The only criticism I have is that the syrup doesn't pour well out of the glass bottle without a little dripping down the sides, making the bottle very sticky. I would prefer it to be in a squeezy bottle and am going to transfer it into one for ease of use."
This is absolute magic in a bottle
"I have found my new favourite food item, and I'm so grateful to Kate Magic for giving me this knowledge. In one of her free Magic Kitchen Q&As she said that the only sweeteners she uses is Stevia and Yacon. I have cut added sugars out of my life, and ended up with only Stevia for a while too. Stevia is great for a lot of things, but Yacon is a game changer! I actually just like it just as it is, the dried yacon is delicious and is a little bit like dried mango. And the syrup is beautiful both visually and in your mouth. I actually prefer to just drizzle it on food like a maple syrup, but you can use it to sweeten as well. And it doesn't have that sickly sweet you get from most other types of syrups. But whether you are trying to eat healthier (I assume you are if you are reading this), or just want to try something new that you will LOVE then I can't recommend this enough. The bottle and label is comes with is beautiful too."
Excellent sweetener
"I recently started buying this for making some sweet desserts and i find it very nice. Less sweet than maple syrup, but with a good flavour. I like that it doesn't spike blood sugars. It comes in a lovely dark glass bottle..."
Wonderful syrup!
"Delicious, Nutritious and wonderfully Versatile, add it to hot beverages, use on pancakes or any recipe that requires sugar, but too runny for most baked goods."
