Known for its worldwide ethnomedical uses to treat diabetes, kidney and bladder infections, and also lower cholesterol, Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is indeed a wonder plant.
Native to the mountainous regions of South America, Yacon found its way into the Philippines. Engr. Greg Sanchez, having experienced first-hand its health benefits, embarked on mission to share this wonder to more Filipinos. With years of manufacturing experience and health products research, Yacon is now being bottled as a refreshing health drink.
Yacon tubers are crisp and juicy with a delicate flavor similar to apple or melon and a sweetness that increases with time. Yacon’s natural sweetness is from its fructooligosaccharides (FOS) content. This sugar is safe for diabetics and dieters. Yacon is also a prebiotic to help beneficial bacteria in the gut. It also increases the natural production of beta-glucans to strengthen the immune system.
Yacon Health Drink will soon be available in three refreshing fruit flavors: Yacon-Pineapple, Yacon-Apple, and Yacon-Lemon.
