Description
Yacon is native to the Andes Mountains in South America. It is a traditional root food of the local Indians. Yacon is called Yacon abroad, which means divine fruit. Yacon is a tropical alpine fruit. The fruit tree looks like ramie and can grow to 2-3 meters high. When mature, five beautiful and delicate sunflowers will bloom on the top of the branches, which is very cute. The flesh tastes very much like pears, juicy and crystal clear, sweet and crisp. It is a low-calorie food, but its carbohydrates are not absorbed by the human body. Therefore, it is very suitable for diabetics and dieters. The fructooligosaccharide content of yacon is the highest among all plants. Yacon, also known as Jerusalem artichoke, is called "Wangen Tiao" in Sichuan, China. It is a perennial herb of the Asteraceae family and can also be eaten as a fruit. Yacon is particularly adapted to growing on sandy soils between 1000 and 2300 meters above sea level. It likes sunlight and moist soil. Yacon is native to the Andes Mountains in South America. It is planted in Peru, Argentina, Yunnan, China, Taiwan and other places. It has been successfully introduced and cultivated in Yunnan, Fujian, Hainan, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei, Shandong, Sichuan, Henan and Hebei.
Yacon is an underground fruit, rich in more than 20 essential amino acids and minerals. The fruit looks like sweet potato, with sticky, juicy and crystal clear flesh and delicious taste. The fructooligosaccharide content of yacon is 60-70% of dry matter, which is the highest content among all plants. It also contains rich minerals and trace elements such as calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, potassium and selenium. Yacon also contains tannins, also known as tannins. Japanese research has found that taking 3-6g of fructooligosaccharides per day can reduce the content of toxic carcinogenic compounds in human feces by more than 40% within 3 weeks. Yacon carbohydrates are rarely absorbed by the human body, so it is very suitable for diabetics and dieters.
