Our Story

Everyone deserves sweetness without compromise.

YakoNow didn’t begin on a farm. It began around a breakfast table.

Like many parents — and many people trying to eat less sugar — we kept choosing between two extremes. Real syrups and spreads were loaded with refined sugar. The sugar-free alternatives were full of artificial ingredients, or left that lingering stevia aftertaste that made every bite feel like a compromise.

We didn’t want to stop sharing pancakes, yogurt, oatmeal or weekend baking with the people we love. We just wanted a better way. Not less joy. Not less flavor. Simply less sugar.

Then we discovered yacon.

High in the Peruvian Andes grows a remarkable root that families have enjoyed for generations. Its sweetness comes from the root itself — not refined sugar. Slowly pressed, it becomes a rich, caramel-colored syrup with a deep, comforting taste that feels indulgent, while naturally containing prebiotic fiber (FOS) and a low glycemic impact.*

For the first time, sweetness didn’t have to feel like a trade-off.

Sweet enough for everyone.

Kids don’t think about sugar. Parents do. That’s why we created YakoNow — a syrup you can drizzle over pancakes, waffles, yogurt, fruit, oatmeal, smoothies or baking, without giving up the cozy moments that happen around food.

No artificial sweeteners. No strange aftertaste. No ingredients you can’t pronounce. Just one ingredient: 100% pure yacon syrup.

Because healthy shouldn’t taste like punishment. And family food should still feel joyful.

From Peru to your table.

Our yacon is hand-harvested in Peru and gently concentrated using traditional methods — no lab, no chemistry, just patience. Then it’s bottled with care in the United States and sent to your door, ready to squeeze, pour and share. Nothing added. Nothing taken away.

More than syrup.

The best moments rarely happen around perfect meals. They happen around shared ones. Sticky fingers. One more pancake. Someone stealing berries off another plate. Coffee getting cold because everyone is still talking. These are the moments worth protecting — and if a better syrup keeps them a little sweeter, we’ve done exactly what we set out to do.

Our promise.

100% pure yacon syrup — vegan, gluten-free, with nothing artificial and no refined sugar. If your family doesn’t love it, we’ll make it right. That’s our happiness guarantee.

Pull up a chair. There’s always room for one more.
