Product Description

Peruvian Naturals Organic Yacon Syrup

A delicious natural sweetener straight from Peru, Yacon Syrup is a healthier alternative to sugar, honey, maple syrup, and other sweeteners. Low in calories and rich in fructooligosaccharides (FOS), it delivers a sweet taste without being metabolized like regular sugar — making it a guilt-free addition to your favorite foods and drinks.

What makes it special:

  • USDA Certified Organic, Gluten-Free & 100% Vegan
  • Low-calorie sweetener that won't spike blood sugar like regular sugar
  • Rooted in centuries of traditional use by indigenous Peruvian communities
  • Packaged in a glass jar with a metallic pop-up lid to preserve freshness
  • As featured on Dr. Oz

Made entirely in Peru. Refrigerate after opening.

Why it works

Yacon is rich in Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a prebiotic fiber that passes through the body undigested. It reaches the colon where it feeds "good" bacteria like Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, supporting a healthy microbiome and regular digestion without spiking blood sugar.

What is Yacon Syrup and where does it come from?

Yacon Syrup is a natural sweetener extracted from the roots of the Yacon plant (Smallanthus sonchifolius), which grows in the Andean mountains of South America. It is often called the "Dietary Gold" of the Andes because of its incredibly low glycemic index and high nutrient density.

Is Yacon Syrup a good sugar substitute for diabetics?

Yes! Yacon Syrup is famous for its low Glycemic Index (GI). Unlike honey, agave, or cane sugar, Yacon contains FOS (Fructooligosaccharides)—a type of sugar that the human body doesn't fully absorb. This means it provides a sweet taste without causing the sharp spikes in blood sugar levels associated with other sweeteners.

How does Yacon Syrup help with weight management?

Yacon is a "metabolism-friendly" sweetener. Because it is rich in fiber and low in calories, it can help you feel fuller for longer. Additionally, the FOS in Yacon acts as a prebiotic, feeding the "good" bacteria in your gut, which is essential for a healthy metabolism and efficient digestion.

What does Yacon Syrup taste like?

It has a delicious, rich flavor profile often described as a mix between molasses, caramel, and honey. It is thick, dark, and smooth, making it a perfect gourmet topping for various foods.

How should I use Yacon Syrup in my daily routine?

You can use it just like honey or maple syrup! It’s great for:

  • Drizzling over oatmeal, yogurt, or pancakes.
  • Mixing into coffee, tea, or smoothies.
  • Using as a healthy alternative in salad dressings or marinades.
  • Note: While you can bake with it, it is best used raw or in low-heat recipes to preserve the beneficial FOS nutrients.

How much should I take per day?

Most people find that 1 to 2 teaspoons daily is the perfect amount to enjoy the prebiotic benefits and satisfy a sweet tooth. Because of its high fiber content, it’s best to start with a small amount and see how your digestion adjusts.

Does Yacon Syrup need to be refrigerated?

To maintain its freshness and nutritional potency, we recommend storing your Yacon Syrup in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. While not strictly required, many customers prefer to keep it in the refrigerator after opening to preserve the flavor over a longer period.
