FRESH FRUIT - The Yacon Farm
FRESH FRUIT
Yacon balances lack of calories with a rather high concentration of potassium, fundamental for daily energy needs, and replaces ordinary sugars with an "exceptional" sugar, inulin, which does not raise blood glucose levels, making it ideal for those who suffer from diabetes. The sugar (FOS) contained in the Yacón is precious because it is not metabolized by the body, passing through the digestive tract undamaged. From its chemical composition the main mineral salts are detected in large percentages, such as, for example, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and many others, as well as about twenty amino acids.
The quality of the Yacón does even more. This tuber stimulates metabolic processes, helps digestion, and stimulates the entire process of absorption and elimination of substances present in food. The consistent presence of antioxidant substances intervenes in the prevention of tumor masses but also in general as a means of contrasting the aging of tissues, in particular those of the eyes and the hair and skin.
The Yacón tubers, in fact, make a significant contrast to the development and operation of the hateful free radicals. According to some recent studies, it would benefit those who suffer from hypertension and insomnia, it would improve fertility and if applied to the skin it would have direct medicinal and healing properties on the epidermis, in cases such as cuts, wounds and infections, or insect and allergy bites .
Let's not forget the important laxative properties and the numerous functions that can stimulate and protect the "healthy" bacterial flora, stimulating their activities and the metabolic cycle.
Our yacon's plants grown in Romagna are exposed to the sun for a seven-month growth cycle, constantly monitored according to European standards, with the support of qualified agronomists. The fruit is exposed in the sun for four days in order to increase the fructoligosaccharide content and thus make the product even sweeter.
