How to eat yacon most nutritiously

Yacon is an uncommon health product, but its therapeutic effect is excellent. For this reason, many people with health problems or people who want to maintain their health will choose to eat yacon.

In addition, yacon can be stir-fried with shredded pork, steamed or stewed, and used to make sweet cookies, yacon and carrot stewed with pork bones, yacon and black-bone chicken stew, and other foods.
