Here I’ve been, contentedly using agave syrup all this time when my superfood-obsessed friend informed about something even better: yacon. A South American tuber with a naturally sweet taste, yacon is low in calories and is glucose-free. The sugars are complex, making them healthier for your body to digest. Talk about sweetening the deal.
Yacon also has medicinal properties. The syrup aids digestion, helps your immune system fight off infection and can even help lower blood pressure. All from the same Andean highlands that bring us high-protein quinoa and sex-drive-enhancing maca. There must be something in the air up there”¦
Try an 8oz bottle of yacon syrup for $14.95 from Sunfood.
