YACON SYRUP SUPPLIER
Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is an Andean root traditionally consumed in Peru and other parts of South America.
Its syrup is valued in the food industry as a natural sweetening ingredient due to its content of
fructooligosaccharides (FOS), an inulin-type fructan commonly studied as a non-digestible carbohydrate.
We AMAZON ANDES are producers, suppliers and exporters of organic yacon derivatives. We offer high quality Yacon products that are Non-GMO, allergen free, 100% vegan & gluten-free.
Buyers comparing natural sweeteners often evaluate yacon alongside Lúcuma and Sacha Inchi depending on application and formulation goals.

Origin of Yacon
Yacon is native to the Andean highlands of South America and has been cultivated for centuries by indigenous communities. The root is traditionally consumed fresh or processed, while its leaves have been used in herbal infusions. Modern processing focuses on transforming the root into syrup and powder for international food markets.
Traditional Uses
- Consumed fresh as a sweet, hydrating root.
- Leaves prepared as herbal infusions in Andean communities.
- Root dried or processed for extended shelf life.
Benefits of Yacon
Source of fructooligosaccharides (FOS)
Yacon naturally contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS), an inulin-type fructan widely studied as a non-digestible carbohydrate in food science.
Sweetening ingredient with a distinctive profile
Yacon syrup provides sweetness with a different profile than sucrose, enabling flexible formulation strategies depending on target taste and solids.
Versatile food ingredient
Used in beverages, sauces, baked goods, and functional blends.
Consumption Suggestions
Yacon syrup is used as a natural sweetening ingredient in beverages, sauces, and selected baked goods. Because it is less sweet than sugar, it is commonly used in partial substitution rather than 1:1 replacement, depending on formulation and desired sweetness.
For consumer-facing products, serving sizes vary by product design and carbohydrate profile. For sensitive individuals, start with small amounts and adjust gradually based on tolerance, especially in FOS-positioned formulations.
Side Effects & Considerations
Higher intake of inulin-type fructans (including FOS) may cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals. Gradual incorporation and moderate use are recommended.
