Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is a plant that gives and gives. Above the ground, the plant produces sunflower-like flowers. The root below has two distinct elements: On top is a bunching of reddish rhizomes which look similar to young ginger and underneath are brown, edible tubers that look like sweet potatoes or sunchokes. They have a crisp, fresh bite, similar to water chestnuts or jicama, and taste like a cross between apple, watermelon, celery and pear.

Also called sweet-root, Peruvian ground apple, Bolivian sunroot and pear of the Earth, the plant is native to the Andean region of South America — today’s Colombia, Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru. It has been cultivated in the region for hundreds of years — the Incas called the vegetable water root, thanks to its refreshing flavor — and is still a staple crop in South and Central America today.

Yacon is a relatively easy to grow, high-yielding plant that thrives well in areas with constant moisture and mild temperatures. The plant is relatively unknown outside of its native South America, and global commercial production is limited. They are susceptible to pest infestation but chemical free measures, like netting or plastic bagging the fruit, are often effective prophylactics. Yacon growth also improves soil fertility.

𝐘𝐚𝐜𝐨𝐧 is a large perennial plant that is mainly grown and cultivated for its tuberous roots. The scientific name of yacon is Smallanthus sonchifolius and it primarily grows in South America, including the Central and Northern Andes, which primarily fall in Colombia and Argentina.

This vegetable wasn’t widely known outside of its native range until recent decades but is now cultivated in Australia and New Zealand, with its popularity spreading to Japan, China, South Korea, and even in the health food markets of the United States.

It has been a traditionally grown vegetable for thousands of years and has a wide variety of uses. The root can be eaten raw, like a potato or jicama. The juicy meat of the tuber is slightly sweet in taste. Yacon syrup and powder are commonly used as healthy replacements for sugar as sweeteners in various foods. The majority of the density of these vegetable tubes, which can grow up to 1 kilogram in weight, are fructooligosaccharides, which is an indigestible form of fructose. This unique quality of yacon is part of what makes it so valuable.

You can harvest yacon after the rhizomes at the top of the plant die and fall back, meaning that the tube underneath the ground is ready to be eaten. One of the best things about yacon is that it can easily be grown in home gardens and requires very little expertise or farming experience.

The leaves of the plant also contain a variety of beneficial organic compounds, which is why yacon tea and syrup have become valuable and sought after components to add to people’s diets. In fact, yacon syrup has had a recent surge of popularity, as it is claimed to not only be a superfood for diabetics, but also for people trying to lose weight.

A 2018 research paper published in the Foods journal suggests that yacon has a low nutritive value. Having said that, the yacon root is mostly composed of fructooligosaccharides and water, but can also provide an ample amount of fiber. Moreover, its leaves also contain certain medicinal compounds. The best quality of this root vegetable is that it is low in calories and can work as a great food option for individuals with a sedentary lifestyle. The lack of starch in yacon makes it a potential dietary choice for people with diabetes as well.
