Organic Yacon Syrup
A tier
Organic yacon syrup is concentrated yacon-root juice from certified Andean (or export) farms: thin-to-medium, caramel-apple, marketed for inulin-type fructans. The organic seal is the farm file; flavour should still be clean root-caramel, not ferment or smoke. It is less sweet than honey. Use it in drinks and as a drizzle. Boiling it hard in a cake wastes the point of the root.
