Yacon 'Inka Red' is a unique and delicious tuberous vegetable, cherished in South America for its crunchy texture and sweet, pear-like flavor. Resembling a sweet potato but offering the refreshing crunch of water chestnuts, yacon is a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire. Enjoy it raw in salads, stir-fried for a delightful crunch, or roasted with other root vegetables. Additionally, yacon juice can be simmered into a sweet syrup akin to honey or maple syrup, perfect for diabetics due to its high inulin content and virtually calorie-free nature.Not only is Yacon 'Inka Red' a culinary delight, but it also makes an attractive garden crop. Its bushy growth and large, lush leaves add an exotic touch to borders or vegetable plots. This easy-to-grow plant reaches heights of 1.8m (6') and spreads to 100cm (39"), making it a striking addition to any garden. Plant your plugs in cool, frost-free conditions, and watch as your garden flourishes with this exotic beauty.How to Grow Instruct
