Yacon is obtained from the root of the eponymous plant that grows in the Andes.
Its taste resembles caramel and honey, and locals call it the "earth apple".
It consists mainly of inulin - a prebiotic containing indigestible fibers whose breakdown begins in the large intestine, and it does not cause a rise in blood sugar.
Probiotics stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and increase the absorption of minerals and trace elements.
The inulin in yacon normalizes digestion, revitalizes intestinal flora during antibiotic use, helps with constipation and intestinal infections.
Additionally, inulin normalizes triglyceride and cholesterol levels in the blood, thereby preventing cardiovascular diseases and gradually reducing fat deposits.
In the Andes, where it has been cultivated for over 3,000 years, yacon tubers are mostly eaten raw, while in the West, it is used in the form of syrup and powder.
After the tubers are harvested, they are sun-dried and carefully ground into powder or pressed into syrup.
The inhabitants of the Andes, of course, do not discard other parts of the plant, most commonly brewing yacon leaf tea.
It is used to regulate blood sugar, improve digestion, and strengthen kidney function.
Yacon has a sweet taste and can be used as a sweetener for smoothies, juices, fruit salads, raw and other desserts, chocolates, salad dressings, etc.
Inulin in our body breaks down into fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which do not affect blood sugar levels. For this reason, it is particularly suitable for diabetics.
It is also very low in calories compared to sugar - 50 calories per tablespoon (15 g) of yacon powder, making it ideal for people with excess weight.
Since it is completely natural and poses no health risks, unlike many artificial sweeteners, its use is recommended for everyone - diabetics, people with excess body weight, vegans, and all those who avoid white sugar.
Yacon
Yacon dobiva se iz korijena istoimene biljke koja raste u Andama.
Njegov okus podsjeća na karamele i med, a mještani ga zovu "zemaljska jabuka".
Sastoji se uglavnom od inulina - prebiotika koji sadrži neprobavljiva vlakna čija razgradnja počinje u debelom crijevu, te ne uzrokuje porast šećera u krvi.
Probiotici potiču rast korisnih bakterija u crijevima i povećaju apsorpciju minerala i elemenata u tragovima
Inulin koji sadrži yacon normalizira probavu, revitalizira crijevnu floru kod primjene antibiotika, pomaže kod opstipacije i crijevnih infekcija
Osim toga, inulin normalizira razinu triglicerida i kolesterola u krvi, čime sprječava kardiovaskularna oboljenja i postepeno smanjuje masne naslage
U Andama, gdje se uzgaja preko 3000 godina, uglavnom se jedu sirovi gomolji yacona, a na Zapadu se koristi u obliku sirupa i praha
Nakon što se gomolji izvade iz zemlje, posuše se na suncu i pažljivo samelju u prah ili se iz njih istisne sirup
Stanovnici Anda, naravno, ne odbacuju ni druge dijelove biljke, a najčešće kuhanju čaj od lišća yacona
On se koristi za reguliranje šećera u krvi, poboljšanje probave te jačanje funkcije bubrega
Yacon ima slatkasti okus te se može koristiti kao zaslađivač za smoothieje, sokove, voćne salate, sirove i ostale slastice, čokolade, preljeve za salatu itd
Inulin se u našem tijelu razgrađuje u fruktooligosaharide (FOS), koji ne utječu na povećanje razine šećera u krvi. Zbog toga je posebno pogodan za dijabetičare
Također je u odnosu na šećer vrlo niske kalorične vrijednosti - 50 kalorija na žlicu (15 g) yacona u prahu, što ga čini idealnim za osobe s prekomjernom težinom
S obzirom na to da je sasvim prirodan i nema opasnosti za zdravlje, kao što je slučaj s mnogim umjetnim sladilima, njegova upotreba se preporučuje svima - dijabetičarima, osobama s povećanom tjelesnom težinom, veganima i svima onima koji izbjegavaju bijeli šećer
