It is a gluten-free yacon-based flour and suitable for people with lactose intolerance.
Yacon is a tuber like potato, but they differ in that yacon lacks starch and its main components are: inulin and fructo-oligasaccharides (FOS) that upon entering the digestive tract release a carbohydrate that is not sugar but fructose.
Yacon roots contain significant amounts of potassium and antioxidants. Dried Yacon root powder contains 50-70% FOS and a low proportion of simple sugars. The human body does not have any enzymes to hydrolyze FOS, so it passes through the digestive metabolism zone, providing few calories, a boon for dieters and diabetics.
In addition, yacon has prebiotics and fiber (in small portions, but equally important), which is ideal for individuals who suffer from digestive problems such as constipation, which prevents regular bowel movements.
