OF THE EARTH SUPERFOODS Organic Dried Yacon Syrup 425ml (PACK OF 1)

This is delicious and fairly low carb. However, I can only eat it in very, very, small amounts at one time, as it creates really painful wind a few hours later. This is not a problem to some people and you must find out your own tolerance levels by trial and error. Start with one teaspoon a day may be and work up slowly. Hope you are able to enjoy it, it's fantastic with cocoa powder stirred into it and a touch of vanilla. It already has lovely subtle overtones that remind me of roses!

Delicious stuff ! Such a nice amount too . I really like the consistency of it ,and enjoy it with Greek yoghurt porridge and pancakes . It also works well in tea and coffee . I'm sure I'll find other uses for it . Very pleased altogether .

Tastes good on its own helped with the bloating some days but haven't seen no weight loss or loss of appetite at all will give it a try with another bottle just incase it's a very slow process

Excellent product. For those experiencing negative effects remember this is a prebiotic, it can feed bad bacteria as well as good bacteria. To get the most out of it imagine this analogy:The bad bacteria is an enemy colony that thrives in the ocean of your stomach. Probiotics (good bacteria) are the good guys, yacon syrup is the food supplies which can help both sides to survive, and regular non-fermentable fibre is the life-rafts which keep the good guys afloat so they don't drown (most orally taken probiotics are unable to stick to the gut wall, unlike bad bacteria). To win the battle the good guys need to outnumber the bad guys, simply just by surviving - higher numbers of good bacteria in the gut can change the environment so its difficult for bad bacteria to survive). Without probiotics, the bad guys eat the yacon syrup and multiply - causing side effects to the human host. Without Yacon syrup (or any other effective prebiotic) the good guys starve, bad guys stick around because prebiotics are only one of many sources of food they can use to survive. Without non-fermentable fibre the good guys will drown.Understanding this analogy, to get the most out of yacon syrup, try it with a probiotic and a source of fibre.I use weetabix (made with hot water), yacon syrup and live yogurt (Added after the mixture has cooled down so it does not kill the probiotics in the yogurt), sometimes throwing in some kidney beans for good measure (acts as both an additional prebiotic and source of non-fermentable fibre, plus makes for a tasty healthy meal).The positive side effects are very noticeable and this way I can take 2 tablespoons a day of yacon syrup with no stomach discomfort.

This is a great way to add a little extra sweetness into your everyday, without having to feel guilty about it. I use it to sweeten smoothies or stir a little in my yogurt. Important to know is that it's not as sweet as agave syrup or honey. But if you can't have sugar like me, and you just wanna add a little extra sweetness to something, this is perfect.

This tastes amazing, I was pleasantly surprised how good it is. I don't know yet about the health benefits, but the fact that it is low on the GI index is what sold me. I have a sweet tooth and am always looking for a healthier way to indulge a bit. This was a fast delivery and I was pleased with the service. Thank you.

It's the best price I could find (compared to stores too) and I love it with bananas, nut butter and some sprinkled oats.The taste is a bit bitter, like molase but not as nearly as sweet. I would not use this to sweeten coffee or tea, but it works in smoothies and a variety of savoury dishes and desserts.I buy this product to add a bit more of prebiotics to my diet.

I'm sure this stuff is healthy and it initially is quite sweet but I found it had a terrible after taste which actually made me feel sick.
