It’s currently known as an important source of probiotics, because of its high content of natural fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), an important type of carbohydrate that can’t be digested by human body since it lacks the necessary enzimes for its break down. This means that FOS are sugars low in calories that don’t increase blood glucose levels. Yacon also has minerals, such as calcium, copper, phosphorus, iron, magnesium, potasium, sodium, zinc; vitamin C and other vitamins, such as thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. Because of these properties, yacon has became a potentially major resource for the health care market and diabetes control.
