1. The yacon is the sweetest from the end of October to the beginning of November every year.

2. Although yacon begins to mature and go on the market in early October every year, the newly ripened yacon contains less sugar, so it tastes light and is not the sweetest time. The yacon has a post-ripening stage. After this stage, the yacon has a higher sugar content and tastes very sweet. Therefore, the peak season for eating yacon is from late October to early November every year.
