Organic Yacon Powder from Indigo Herbs is low in carbohydrates and has a low glycaemic index (GI). It is rich in pre-biotic fibres and compounds known as "fructooligosaccharides". The taste buds recognise the sweet tasting yacon but the digestive system does not process the syrup like a normal sugar, making this an ideal replacement to regular sugar.

Our Yacon Powder is a fantastic dietary source of "fructooligosaccharides", sugar molecules connected in a way that makes them unrecognisable to the digestive system. They stimulate the taste buds but cannot be digested making this a great low carbohydrate and low GI alternative to sugar. It is pre-biotic, feeding the friendly bacteria in the digestive system. When the bacteria digest the fructooligosaccharides it produces short chain fatty acids which are thought to have anti-obesity effects.
You can use Indigo Herbs Organic Yacon Powder exactly how you would any other cane sugar but enjoy the benefits of a much lower GI. Some compare it so the taste of caramalised sugar. Organic Yacon Powder is a great sugar alternative in cooking.

None Known. Although over indulgence could lead to an upset stomach.
Indigo Herbs Organic Yacon Powder is grown and processed under strict organic standards. Just as the rainy season commences the Yacon roots are dug up and selected for quality. After being washed in citric water they are dried in their natural raw state so that very little moisture is left in the root. They are then milled into fine Organic Yacon Powder which is fully tested before being shipped.
