Yacon syrup comes from a tuber with very interesting properties, an earth pear. First coveted by the Incas for its deliciously sweet taste, Yacon has now become the main natural ally for improving gut flora and losing weight. It is also suitable for diabetics as its glycemic index is almost zero. The carbohydrates in Yacon syrup are mainly composed of prebiotic fibers that are not digested by the intestine because they serve as food for the intestinal microbiota. This is why Yacon does not raise blood sugar levels. This sweetener does not cause reactive hypoglycemia and thus helps to avoid energy crashes that can typically occur after consuming sugary products. Its texture is more fluid than honey but denser than maple syrup. Its taste is sweet, subtly fruity with a caramelized note. It has a less pronounced taste than maple syrup or honey.
