关于本原料
Andean tuber introduced to Japan in the 1980s and now cultivated commercially in Ibaraki, Nagano, and Hokkaido. Functional positioning centres on fructooligosaccharide (FOS) content — yacon roots are 60-70% FOS, the highest naturally-occurring concentration of any commonly-cultivated crop. FFC notifications support digestive-health and metabolic positioning. Sold fresh as a salad-and-juicing tuber, dried as yacon-cha (yacon tea), and processed into syrup as a low-glycemic natural sweetener. Distinct from existing 'kuzu-starch' and 'mochigome' carbohydrate-related entries.
