MG Natura Peru Yacon is a root native to the Andes, consumed since pre-Inca times. Unlike most edible roots, yacon does not store starch, but accumulates its carbohydrates in the form of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and free sugars (fructose, glucose and sucrose); becoming an excellent natural sweetener that can be consumed by diabetics.
