Sunfood's Organic Yacon Syrup

100% Raw organic yacon syrup is a new vegan sweetener similar to molasses. It is low glycemic and safe for diabetics. Pressed from the yacon root, it has been enjoyed for centuries in the Andean highlands of Peru. As a prebiotic, yacon is good for digestion, safeguards against colon cancer, and helps with the absorption of calcium and vitamins. Though packed with sweetness, the sugar in yacon is mainly fructooligosaccharide, which cannot be absorbed by the body. This means yacon is both naturally low-calorie and low in mono and disaccharides (less than 1/2 g per serving), sugars that rapidly elevate blood sugar levels. Use it as you would honey or maple syrup on foods and in recipes or sweeten beverages with a spoonful. Sunfood is a world renowned source of the highest quality raw foods and superfoods the planet has to offer. Rated a 4 because we are not crazy about the taste. It’s worth a try.
