Yacon Prebiotic has the consistency of golden syrup, or thick honey, and a rich, sweet resinous taste that can remind the taste of raisins.
NZFOS+ Yacon Prebiotic contains natural prebiotics, supporting the growth and health of the microflora in our bodies.
Three cultivars of Yacon were brought into New Zealand by Plant & Food Research in early 1990’s. Dr. Robert Welch, Dr. Jim Douglas, and their team experimented with different cultivars in ten growing areas across north and south of New Zealand for the highest production of natural FOS. New Zealand is now growing some of the most FOS-abundant yacon in the world.
In 2013, researchers from Japan compared the difference of the prebiotic effect between yacon and commercialised FOS. The study shows that natural FOS is capable of encouraging gut microbes to produce twice as much beneficial SCFA (Short Chain Fatty Acids) as commercialised FOS can.
