Natural sweetness from organic yacon roots
Dragon Superfoods Organic Yacon Syrup is made from 100% organically grown yacon roots.
Native to South America, yacon is valued for its naturally sweet taste and distinctive nutritional profile. The roots are processed into a smooth, dark amber syrup with a delicate caramel aroma that blends easily into everyday recipes.
With naturally occurring fructooligosaccharides
Yacon syrup naturally contains fructooligosaccharides, also known as FOS.
These prebiotic carbohydrates help nourish beneficial intestinal bacteria and support a balanced gut microbiome. This makes yacon a popular choice for people looking for a sweetener that offers more than sweetness alone.
Low glycaemic index
Yacon syrup is appreciated for its low glycaemic index compared with conventional sugar and many traditional sweeteners.
Its natural composition makes it a practical option for people who want to reduce their use of refined sugar while continuing to enjoy a pleasantly sweet taste.
The syrup still contains naturally occurring sugars and should be used in moderation as part of a varied and balanced diet.
Delicate caramel taste
Yacon syrup has a mild sweetness with subtle notes of caramel and molasses.
Its flavour is rich enough to add character to desserts and breakfast recipes, yet delicate enough to blend into smoothies, coffee, tea and cocoa drinks.
It pairs especially well with:
- Cocoa and dark chocolate
- Coffee and cinnamon
- Bananas and apples
- Nuts and nut butters
- Coconut
- Vanilla
- Oats and granola
A versatile alternative to traditional sweeteners
Yacon syrup can be used as an alternative to white sugar, honey, maple syrup or agave syrup.
Its fluid texture makes it easy to pour, mix and distribute evenly in both cold and warm recipes.
Use it in:
- Pancakes and waffles
- Porridge and overnight oats
- Granola and breakfast bowls
- Yoghurt or plant-based alternatives
- Smoothies and shakes
- Coffee, tea and cocoa drinks
- Cakes, muffins and cookies
- Raw desserts and energy bites
- Creams, sauces and dessert toppings
How to use yacon syrup
Pour it directly over pancakes, waffles, porridge, granola, yoghurt, fruit and desserts.
Add it according to taste to smoothies, shakes, coffee, tea, cocoa, cake mixtures, cookies, creams and raw desserts.
Because it is a concentrated liquid sweetener, start with a small amount and adjust gradually according to taste.
