What is yacon?

A root from the Andes, naturally sweet.

Yacon is a root vegetable grown for centuries in the Peruvian highlands. Its syrup tastes like caramel, pours like honey, and is 2× lower in calories than sugar, with over 40–50g of prebiotic fiber per 100g. Nothing added, nothing synthetic — one ingredient, pressed by hand.

Good to know

Every question, answered

Does it really taste like maple syrup?+

Warmer and more caramel-toffee than maple — naturally sweet, never bitter. Most kids ask for it by name after one breakfast.

Is it actually low-sugar and low-glycemic?+

Yes. Yacon sweetness comes mostly from prebiotic fiber (FOS) your body does not spike on — glycemic index 1–5, versus 60+ for maple. General wellness info, not medical advice.

How is it different from maple or agave?+

Same pourable sweetness, but from a root: low-glycemic and rich in prebiotic fiber, instead of refined sugar or high-fructose agave.

Will my kids actually like it?+

It is kid-approved — caramel-sweet, the taste they ask for, gentle enough for the whole table. Like any syrup, it is not for infants under 1.

Is it vegan, gluten-free and additive-free?+

Yes to all three. 100% pure yacon syrup — a single ingredient, nothing added.

Can diabetics use it?+

It is low-glycemic (GI 1–5) and many blood-sugar-conscious families choose it — but please check with your doctor. Not medical advice.

Why does it cost more than regular syrup?+

Because it is 100% hand-harvested Peruvian yacon, slow-pressed in small batches — not corn syrup with flavoring. A little goes a long way, so a bottle lasts.

Will the prebiotic fiber upset my stomach?+

In normal drizzle amounts it is gentle — it is the FOS fiber that feeds your gut. Start with a moderate pour.

How do I use it, and how much?+

Like any syrup — pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, yogurt, coffee, glazes. A little goes a long way.

Where is it made, and how long does it last?+

Hand-harvested from yacon root in the Peruvian Andes, then bottled with care in the US. About a 1-year shelf life unopened; refrigerate after opening.

What if I do not love it, and how does shipping work?+

You are backed by our happiness guarantee — if you are not happy, we will make it right. Shipped across the US via USPS / UPS, with free shipping on every order.
