The root of Yacon is considered the world’s richest source of natural FOS (Fructo-oligosaccharides). FOS is a sweet and low caloric dietetic fiber with prebiotic properties. Prebiotics are important components to keep a healthy digestive system.  

Yacon is often consumed as deliciously tasting syrup, which can be used as ideal sugar replacement in any food or drink, especially in low-calorie products.

Fructo-oligosaccharides have been related to the regulation of intestinal flora, constipation reduction, improvement of absorption of many nutrients, cholesterol regulation, among many other benefits.
