Yacon is a kind of fruit that grows underground. Although this name is easily associated with Saussurea involucrata, it is not the fruit of Tianshan Mountain in China, nor is it the fruit of Saussurea involucrata. It is a perennial herb native to the Andes in South America. After it was introduced into China, it was with this tall name that it was impressive and quickly became popular, and it became a fruit that many people rushed to buy.

How to eat yacon?

Yacon can be eaten as fruit. It tastes thin, juicy and residue-free, just like the taste of Sydney, crisp and sweet. Because it is a crop imported from abroad, and the initial planting area is not large, the price of yacon is not low, and the supply is still in short supply for a long time.

Yacon can be eaten not only as a raw fruit, but also as a dish. It can be eaten in a variety of ways, either as a side dish or as cooked food, such as fried shredded pork or boiled soup. In recent years, many people like to make hot pot with yacon. In addition, yacon can also be developed into preserved fruit, crisp fruit, jelly, fruit cake, canned food and so on.
