Product Review

Like you, we were looking for an alternative to sugar. Cane syrup, barley malt syrup, stevia, sorbitol. Over the years we tried them all, and some of the nasty ones too. We'd find a product, use it for a while, then be surprised by the latest, high-publicity health scare. Sounds familiar, you might be saying. We tried those natural sweeteners such as brown rice syrup and evaporated cane juice but discovered they can be highly glycemic and raise our blood sugar levels just like white sugar. Not good. Next we tried sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol but they can cause intestinal gas and diarrhea. Not nice. Other substances have even been shown to cause cancer in lab animals. Maybe you had the same frustrating experience. Then we were introduced to yacon syrup: it's an all-natural, 100 percent pure, plant-based alternative to sugar, low-glycemic, with a naturally rich taste and documented health benefits such as suppressing hunger and stimulating the bowel with its special fructose called FOS (fructooligosaccharides). With yacon syrup, we found a product we could fall in love with. And we did. First, we began using yacon syrup in all our serving, cooking, and baking . . . wherever and whenever we wanted a healthy sweetness. Immediately, we could appreciate its unique, earthy goodness. Later, we looked into bringing this wondrous product to market. As with our other Nature Botanicals products, we've partnered with the best growers, choosing their highest-quality harvests, packaging quickly, and selling you the freshest, 100 percent yacon syrup at a fair price. And while other brands may add coloring or other additives, our yacon syrup is only minimally processed. Remember: the high purity of Nature Botanicals 100 percent Yacon Syrup can affect settling and solidifying of the product's natural components, so we recommend stirring the product before first use and after subsequent uses.
