Description
Yacon root chips provide you with an amazingly sweet and delicious snack. Our Yacon chips are made
from heirloom varieties grown in Peru and are dried using a proprietary low-temperature process to
provide the highest nutritional and enzymatic quality. A relative of the sunflower, yacon root stands alone
in its health properties. While most roots store carbohydrates as starch, yacon stores carbohydrates as
fructooligosacaride (FOS). Yacon pieces contain 30-70% FOS, which has been shown to be helpful in
digestion and nutrient absorption. This versatile superfood simply can’t be beat when you’re looking for a
healthy and sweet treat.
Benefits:
The list of benefits from dried yacon root pieces seems limitless. Yacon contains important quantities of potassium and antioxidants while maintaining a high mineral content and low sugar content. Yacon can also serve as a prebiotic when the undigested portion acts as food for “friendly” bacteria, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacillus, in the colon. Other FOS benefits noted include increased absorption of calcium and magnesium, improved elimination of toxic compounds and an increase in bone density as shown in preclinical studies.
Recommended Usage:
Yacon root chips are a great snack that can also be added to salads, trail mixes, or reconstituted and blended into smoothies.
Storage:
Reseal bag after opening. Store in a cool, dry place.
Specifications:
Low-temperature dried Raw 100 g bag
