ORGANIC Yacon powder, Fibre in yacon, YACON 100% organic pure natural sweet powder
- Yacón is rich in inulin and oligofructose, which are polysaccharides, one of the most natural sugar substitutes. Both are 30-50% sweeter than conventional sugar and contain hardly any calories.
- Inulin and oligofructose are important prebiotics that, due to their indigestible fiber, can reach the large intestine, where they provide food for the natural intestinal bacteria. These “good” bacteria are responsible for healthy intestinal flora, which have a positive influence on our immune system and digestion.
- Prebiotics are soluble fibers that, due to their ability to bind and swell water in the stomach and intestines, stimulate digestion and ensure a feeling of satiety for longer.
- Yacón is an ideal sugar substitute for diabetics, hence the name “diabetic potato”. The fructooligosaccharides cannot be absorbed by the body like other sugars, but rather are used to reduce the high levels of glucose production in the liver, thereby reducing fasting glucose. This is especially important for diabetics.
