Is it 100% yacon syrup?

Yes. The plump and juicy roots are peeled and juiced like you would juice an apple in a press. The juice is filtered and then dehydrated at low temperatures until the desired viscosity and sweetness are reached. Similar to how maple syrup is create except at a lower temperature. It typically requires 14 gallons of juice of make one gallon of syrup. Enjoy.

No I do not know, but what I do know is that it is not what is claims to be, which is 100% pure. Having tasted pure Stevia, this is a poor imitation. It has fillers in it, but just what they are is unknown.

Not sure but it does have a laxative effect-but don't buy this brand the bottles are not full and very thin-buy the Royal Dark Yacon a little more expense but worth it.

Raw yacon syrup has not been heated above 118 degrees, keeping all the vital enzymes intact. :)

The bottle only contains about 1/3 of stevia....however, do not underestimate the potentecy of that stuff. To much can easily turn into bitter. My son just made chocolate syrup using one stevia and 2 containers of cocoa.

Hi Claire, the product does indeed contains 50% FOS fiber but yacon syrup in general does not exceed 50% FOS, otherwise it wouldn't be in a liquid form at room temperature because it would be mostly fiber.

We source the yacon from Peru and manufacture the syrup in the US followed very strict cGMP standards. Our syrup is thick and dark.

The label does say 100% pure yacon syrup. Beyond that, I just do not THINK it has any additional ingredients. It would surprise me. This brand has a better taste than others I have tried. It also has a thicker consistency than some I have tried, as well.

Hi! This yacon syrup is thicker than many others, therefore it has more calories (albeit a very small amount). It is sweeter and more concentrated and has a higher concentration of FOS inulin fiber in it, which makes it a thicker, more viscous liquid. This is a good thing if your goal is to maximize FOS content, which benefits digestion, probiotic health and also boosts metabolic rate. It's also ideal for cooking if you choose to use this as a natural sweetener in cookies or desserts, since a little goes a long way. Many also rate the thicker yacon syrups to have a better taste since they are more concentrated. These types of products tend to have an overall negative effect calorie wise, meaning that ingesting them up a certain amount can actually take more calories to utilize and have an overall negative caloric affect. So if you consume a teaspoon which is 13 calories, it might take 4 calories to fire up your digestive system to process these calories and it may also boost your metabolism by 4 calories and improve your gut health so that other meals are better absorbed and digested (nutrient utilization from increased probiotic activity). You may also feel better and become more active from improved gut health, etc. so don't focus too much on the calories because they are quite insignificant when this is mainly FOS inulin fiber with so many other benefits! These are just estimates and everybody's body is different, but I'm using them to help illustrate that calories in don't always equal calories out with certain macros.

Nothing but yacon syrup. Same like Maple Syrup it would be just Maple Syrup so this is Yacon Syrup. It is used like molasses or honey.

It becomes ineffective if the temperature is over 248 degrees F (120 C).Sources: http://authoritynutrition.com/does-yacon-syrup-work/ and http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12502412

Yes it is! As the description says, this is 100% pure stevia extract. "Now" does make other products that are a blend of stevia and maltodextrin, but this is their pure stevia extract powder. Check labels carefully when purchasing stevia. If you want the pure extract, this is Now's version.

Yes, if used as a sugar substitute. Extra bonus -- Yacon Syrup is a prebiotic.

Yes. We personally purchased it because it did not contain high fructose corn syrup or artificial dyes.

The label indicates that the bottle contains 100% pure maple syrup free from artificial flavorings, preservatives or dyes. I have been using this brand for 3 years and am satisfied with the product. I would recommend you try it.
