Yacon Gourmet Roots - Inka Red Grow exotic gourmet roots from your very own home! Yacon means ‘water root’ in the Aztec language. The largest tuber you can grow in the UK, producing very crisp and juicy red roots. Sweet tasting due to the amount of inulin present, which is good for diabetics as its not sugar. Tall plants which produce sunflower-like blooms. Can be eaten raw or cooked, tastes like fresh pear/water-chestnut. Yacon tubers are very juicy and sweet so can be eaten fresh like fruit or cooked like a potato, try adding a little chopped up to a fruit salad or roast them, add them to soups and casserole or coleslaw.
Looks like a potato and tastes a bit like a cross between a water chestnut and a pear! Originally from South America, and distantly related to sunflowers, the yacon is a perennial plant producing huge, fuzzy green leaves and attractive yellow flowers. It grows a bit like a Jerusalem artichoke, producing a good crop of very sweet, crunchy, but also nicely juicy tubers. Try them raw in salads or instead of water chestnuts in stir-fries. What's more the yacon's sweetness comes from inulin which is an indigestible sugar, so despite the sweetness it has almost no calories! And the leaves can be used in cooking as wraps, like you would vine leaves. Pale-skinned varieties are available, but we've selected this purple-skinned one, which has improved cold tolerance. Well worth a try!

Every garden needs pollinators, including bees, butterflies, moths, hoverflies and many others. Without them there would be limited flowers and even fewer fruit and vegetables, so youre doing them a real favour growing a selection of plants that will provide them with a good source of nectar and pollen.
