Related to the sunflower, Yacon has large succulent roots which have a juicy, watermelon flavour, from which the syrup is produced. It is primarily used as a natural sweetener. Yacon syrup is high in fructo-oligosacharides, which are a pre-biotic. It is an exceptionally sweet, brown syrup which can be used like honey, molasses or maple syrup.
