What Is Yacon Fruit Extract Powder ?
The yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius, syn.: Polymnia edulis, P. sonchifolia) is a perennial plant as a traditionally food for its crisp, sweet-tasting tuberous roots. The texture and flavour are very similar to jicama, mainly differing in that yacón has some slightly sweet resinous and floral (similar to violet) undertones to its flavor. This flavoring is probably due to a sweet substance called inulin, as replicates the sweet taste found in the roots of elecampane, which also contains this substance. Another name for the yacón is Peruvian ground apple. The tuber is composed mostly of water and fructooligosaccharides.
Yacon root extract powder contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS), inulin and phenolic compounds. The consumption of FOS and inulin improves the growth of bifidobacteria in the colon, enhances mineral absorption and gastrointestinal metabolism and plays a role in the regulation of serum cholesterol. The consumption of these prebiotics promotes a positive modulation of the immune system, improving resistance to infections and allergic reactions.
