Production & Sourcing
Yacon syrup is derived from the roots of the Yacon plant (Smallanthus sonchifolius), primarily cultivated in regions with temperate climates such as South America, particularly Peru and Bolivia. The production process begins with the cultivation of Yacon plants, which typically take around 6 to 8 months to mature. Once matured, the roots are harvested and thoroughly washed to remove dirt and debris. The roots are then sliced and crushed to extract the juice, which is filtered to remove any impurities. The juice is then heated gently to evaporate excess water, resulting in a concentrated syrup with a sweet, caramel-like flavor.

Benefits
Yacon syrup adds a subtly sweet and caramel-like flavor to foods and beverages, enhancing their taste and complexity without overpowering other ingredients.
Yacon syrup serves as a natural sweetener, providing a deliciously sweet flavor without the high sugar content found in traditional sweeteners like cane sugar or honey.
Yacon syrup has a low glycemic index, meaning it causes a slower and more gradual increase in blood sugar levels compared to other sweeteners. This makes it a suitable option for individuals looking to manage their blood sugar levels.
Yacon syrup contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which act as prebiotics in the digestive system. These prebiotics help nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut, promoting digestive health and regularity.
Yacon syrup is a good source of dietary fiber, which supports digestive health by promoting regularity, aiding in weight management, and reducing the risk of certain diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.
Due to its low calorie content and prebiotic properties, Yacon syrup may help support weight management efforts by promoting feelings of fullness, reducing appetite, and supporting a healthy metabolism.
In baked goods, Yacon syrup can help retain moisture and prolong freshness, resulting in softer, more tender textures.
Yacon syrup has natural preservative properties due to its high sugar content, helping to extend the shelf life of products in which it is used.
Uses in manufacturing
Yacon syrup can be incorporated into protein powder formulations as a natural sweetener and binder, providing a healthier alternative to traditional sweeteners like sugar or artificial additives.
Yacon syrup can be used in the production of confectionery products such as chocolates, candies, and caramels to provide sweetness and a unique flavor profile while offering prebiotic fiber for digestive health.
Yacon syrup can be used in the production of nutritional bars, such as energy bars or meal replacement bars, to add sweetness and enhance texture while providing prebiotic benefits and a lower glycemic index.
Yacon syrup can be included in the formulation of baked goods such as granola bars, cookies, and muffins, acting as a natural sweetener and moisture-retaining agent while offering prebiotic properties.
Yacon syrup can be added to functional beverages like smoothies, juices, and teas to sweeten them naturally and provide prebiotic fiber, promoting gut health and aiding digestion.
Yacon syrup can be used in sports nutrition products such as energy gels, chews, and drinks to provide a quick source of carbohydrates for energy during exercise, along with prebiotic benefits for digestive health.
Yacon syrup can be used in the production of snack foods such as granola clusters, trail mixes, and snack bars to add sweetness and bind ingredients together while offering prebiotic benefits and a lower glycemic index.
Main producing countries and Harvest time.
Yacon syrup is primarily sourced from countries with temperate climates such as South America, particularly Peru and Bolivia. Harvesting of Yacon roots typically occurs after 6 to 8 months of growth, usually during the cooler months of the year when the roots have reached maturity. This timing ensures optimal sweetness and nutritional content in the harvested roots, making them ideal for processing into Yacon syrup.
