Yacon is rich in inulin and oligofructose, which are polysaccharides and among the most natural sugar substitutes. Both have a sweetness of 30–50 per cent that of conventional sugar and contain hardly any calories.
Inulin and oligofructose are important prebiotics which, thanks to their indigestible dietary fibre, can reach the large intestine, where they serve as food for the natural gut bacteria. These ‘good’ bacteria are responsible for a healthy gut flora, which has a positive effect on our immune system and our digestion.
- Prebiotics are soluble fibres which, due to their ability to bind water and swell in the stomach and gut, stimulate digestion and ensure a longer-lasting feeling of fullness.
- Yacon is an ideal sugar substitute for people with diabetes, hence the name ‘diabetic potato’. Fructooligosaccharides cannot be absorbed by the body in the same way as other sugars; instead, they are used to reduce the high levels of glucose production in the liver, thereby lowering fasting blood glucose levels. This is particularly important for people with diabetes.
