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

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.

The bottle states that it is 100% pure yacon. If anything were added it would need to be added to the ingredients list.

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.

If you are referring to 'FOS' as additional sweetner, according to the label (which you can see on Amazon) there are no additional ingredients....just yacon. Hope this helps.

As far as I am concerned this is not a good quality yacon syrup, it is much thinner than other organic brands I have purchased.

I think grade B is darker and has more nutrients than grade A. I love this syrup and no longer can buy Aunt Jemima and Log Cabin A. They taste fake to me now.

Our yacon syrup is 100% pure and it doesn't contain any other ingredients. It has 67% FOS.

I have ordered both. One in 2iz bottle and the other in a 4 oz bottle. I compared ingredients and saw nothing different in them.

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.

I have used both and I much prefer the liquid!! That's why i order from amazon because it is very hard to get.

The kind I got was grade B. I don't know what the description says but the paperwork with it explained how they were changing the numbering system so it matches. Right now Canada labels different from the US. But they also have grade A syrup. So you could get either kind--I would base it on the label and assume the description was either a typo or a more generic description.

As soon as mine arrives I open bottle and set it in a pan of warm water and use a utensil that allows me to stir until everything is liquid. I then pour it into a jelly jar that I can stir with a spoon. This makes it possible to use all of the goodness. Just be sure that you don't over heat the liquid as you don't want to change the pre-biotic effect of the Yacon Syrup.

Not sure Rebecca ---Not sure I even really know the difference. I buy both labels at trader Joes and never gave it much thought --enjoy them equally --sorry

With any of the brands of authentic Yacon syrup that I have tried, I find it is necessary to shake it vigorously before every use. I also flip it upside down after every other use to keep the solids thoroughly mixed. If you don't do that from day one, what you describe happens. When that has happened to me, I put a little hot water into the bottle and shake it until it is the consistency that allows it to pour. Most brands do not say "refrigerate after opening" though I think this brand may say that. I do not refrigerate mine because it does make it much harder to shake and remove from the bottle.

I did not get stevie in the raw. I got a product called Yes. I am not happy about the product substitution. I am led to believe that the products are the same. Due to this switch and bait I will not be buying this from Amazon again. I understand that Sam's Club has a good price.

The FOS level in yacon syrup can vary from batch to batch (typically 30-50% FOS), but Yacon Syrup Gold has been tested by an independent research lab and determined to contain an industry-leading 67.81% fructooligosaccharides!
