The Yacon Seedlings
Yacon
The yacon plant (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is a nutritious, sweet-tasting tuber native to the Andes, known for its health benefits and unique flavor.
Taste and Texture: Yacon tubers are often described as having a flavor reminiscent of a cross between an apple and a watermelon, with a crunchy, juicy texture. They are sometimes referred to as “the apple of the earth” due to their sweet taste.
Nutritional Benefits: Yacon is rich in fiber and low in calories, making it an excellent snack option. It contains fructooligosaccharides, which are prebiotics that promote gut health.

ComparePlanting: Yacon is best planted in well-drained, aerated soil with plenty of organic matter. It thrives in sunny, warm locations and should be planted at a depth of about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches). Space the plants about 70 cm (28 inches) apart to allow for their growth, as they can reach heights of up to 2 meters (6.5 feet).
Care: Yacon plants are relatively pest and disease-resistant, requiring minimal maintenance. They should be watered during dry spells, but they do not like waterlogged soil.
Harvesting: The tubers can be harvested after the first frost, which enhances their sweetness. They can be dug up gently with a fork, and any remaining roots will continue to grow for the next season.
Yacon can be eaten raw in salads, added to coleslaws, or juiced. Its sweet flavor makes it a versatile ingredient in various dishes. In some cultures, yacon juice is boiled down to produce a syrup or used to make a refreshing drink.
The yacon plant is a unique and beneficial addition to any garden, offering both health benefits and culinary versatility. Its ease of cultivation and resistance to pests make it an attractive option for gardeners looking to diversify their crops
