About YakonowDSDC

From a Peruvian root to your breakfast table.

Yakonow is a premium pancake syrup made from one ingredient. Just yacon root, hand-harvested in the Andean highlands of Peru, gently pressed into a smarter syrup for your daily breakfast ritual.

Why we built it

We started Yakonow because we wanted a premium pancake syrup that actually made breakfast better — without spiking blood sugar thirty minutes later. Maple syrup is honest and good. Honey is ancient. But neither met us where modern eaters live: low-glycemic, single-ingredient, kitchen-friendly.

So we built it.

The yacon difference

• Glycemic index 1 · vs maple syrup GI 54. That's 30-50× lower impact on blood sugar.
• Single ingredient · just yacon root. No fillers. No preservatives. No artificial sweeteners.
• Naturally rich in prebiotic FOS · fructooligosaccharides that support gut health (peer-reviewed research backs this, not us).
• Keto-friendly · diabetic-friendly · vegan · gluten-free · works for most modern eating styles.

The source · Peru

Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is an Andean tuber that has nourished Peruvian families for centuries. We source from small farms in the Peruvian highlands where altitude and climate produce yacon naturally rich in prebiotic FOS. Hand-harvested. No industrial farming. Family-owned partnerships.

The process · Texas

We press the yacon root and gently reduce the juice into a single-ingredient syrup at our FDA-compliant facility in Texas. No additives, no chemicals, no shortcuts. Just yacon, bottled in a 6oz squeeze bottle designed for daily kitchen use.
