Yacon syrup has shown to remains low in calories and low on the glycemic index scale. This is due to the fact that the sugar contains high levels of oligofructose (inulin), a form of sugar that is not metabolized readily by the human body.

Our Review:
There has been a lot of hype over Yacon Root Syrup lately and if half the claims are true about the health benefits it's worth giving it a try. Yacon Root is said to have benefits such as high fiber content, lowering of cholesterol and blood sugar levels, increasing bone density, improved immune system functions, increased energy, and let's not forget all the talk about weight loss. This particular Yacon Root Syrup is very thick, and has a smell to it that I didn't really love. It's the only brand I have tried, so I can't compare to others at this time. I tried putting it in my coffee as a sweetener as recommend but I didn't enjoy the taste. To me the taste is bitter. I decreased the amount recommended and used a little here and there in food so the taste wasn't so strong, and that seemed to work better for me. Even though I didn't love the taste I think everyone will have a different opinion on the taste being good verses bad because all of our taste buds are different. Even though I didn't love the taste I'd still recommend trying it to judge the taste on your own, and to judge if it gives you any of the wonderful health benefits linked to Yacon Root Syrup. The benefits of using this brand is that it is a 100% pure raw organic syrup formula with no added preservatives, no wheat, no gluten, no GMO's.
