Yacon Root
Yacon root syrup is extracted from the fresh root and is available commercially, but it is extremely expensive. A better bet is to use yacon root powder to add sweetness to baked goods, smoothies and sprinkled on foods. You also avoid any adulteration with added fructose by used bulk root powder. A tea is made from the fresh leaves in South America, and fresh slices of yacon root are also eaten raw.
