Yacon Syrup is a naturally derived, alternative sweetener made by concentrating the juice of the tuberous storage roots of the Yacon plant (Smallanthus sonchifolius). Native to Peru, this relative of the sunflower is grown in the Andes Mountains and has been cultivated and consumed since pre-Inca times.*
Yacon Syrup can be used like honey in beverages, cereal, cooking, baking, and other recipes.*
Use ¾ cup in place of 1 cup sugar for recipes. You may need to reduce the amount of liquid, just as you would for honey.
