Organic Yacon Root - Smallanthus sonchifolius, 1 lb, (Mountain Rose Herbs)

Free Gift For Order Over $50. Check out our gift selection.

So far the only research done concerning the yacon has not been done on humans, but the studies on animals have shown that it is an antimicrobial, and can lower blood sugar and help protect the liver. It is currently being cultivated in the Czech Republic as an experimental food crop. 
 
The yacon root is native to Peru and South America, and is a distant relative of the sunflower. Archeologists believe that the yacon probably originated in the high Andean region of Southern Peru. It is also thought to be one of the "lost crops" of the Incas, who were known to cultivate it and who considered it an important food crop. The fresh root is small and similar in appearance to a potato, and is said to taste similar to a cross between celery and Granny Smith apples. It is used across South America to lower blood sugar in those with diabetes and liver problems. 
 
Also known as: smallanthus sonifolius, Polimina, Poire de terre Cochet, Mexican Potato, Leaf cup, Potato bean, Earth Apple, Aricoma, Jacon,Arboloco.

SUGGESTED USAGE
The leaves are made into a tea, and the root is made into syrups and extracts. It may also be found in South America in slices, or made into jellies or jams. 
 
Precautions: Historically, there are no known side effects, but it may cause gastrointestinal problems in certain individuals if too much is taken.
