Health benefits of Yacon

Have you ever heard of Yacon Root ?

The reason why Yacon root products are so good as a sugar alternative is because of the nature of fructooligosaccharides. This polysaccharide is sweet tasting but indigestible when it reaches the gut meaning that it holds no calorific value and passes directly through the body. Yacon is of benefit to those who might be following a low sugar diet but also because Yacon root products have a prebiotic action.

The fructooligosaccharides act as a food to the healthy bacteria in the lower intestine promoting their effectiveness. Having a good amount of healthy bacteria is important to the digestion and immunity.

Yacon root contains good carbohydrates known as fructoogliosaccharides (FOS). FOS are insoluble fibers or prebiotics that our bodies can’t digest. That might sound like a bad thing, but it’s actually the reason they’re so good for us.

So, what do these prebiotic fibers do exactly? How do they work to heal our guts?

Onion Facts

Records suggest that onions started to be used in China way back in 5000 BC ( over 7,000 years ago! ) – more so because of the bulb’s durability to transport and store. Ancient Egyptians were known to revere the vegetable, considering its spherical shape and concentric rings a symbol of eternal life. In fact, onions were also used in ancient Egyptian burials.

The medical documents of Charaka Samhita (way back in the 6th century BC) mention onion as a medicinal plant. Even a Greek physician from the 1st century AD (Dioscorides) documented the vegetable’s medicinal uses. And it was the first European settlers who had taken onions to North America.

The sulfuric compounds in onions cause is to cry when we chop them. To cut down on the crying, chill the onion and cut into the root end of the onion last.

Before it was known as the Big Apple, New York City was called the Big Onion because it was a place where you could peel off layer after layer without ever reaching the core.

Yellow onions – They have ivory white flesh that is surrounded by heavy brown skin. They have a strong and sulfur-like aroma.

Sweet onions – They have a lighter, less-opaque skin that surrounds a larger and slightly fatter body of the vegetable.

White onions – They have a papery white skin, and they are milder and sweeter than their yellow counterparts.

Red onions – They are mild and sweet enough to be eaten raw. The exterior skin and flesh are a deep magenta.

Shallots – They are smaller and brown-skinned and have purple flesh.

Green onions – They are the immature onions that haven’t yet formed a bulb.

Leeks – They are shaped like overgrown scallions (the long-necked onion with a small bulb) and are usually used in sauces and soups.
