Sunfood's Organic Yacon Syrup
Dietary Needs: Soy Free,Vegan,Dairy Free,Gluten Free
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.
