Yacon and bok choy stir-fry

Ta-da! Meet the star of this recipe, the YACON!

This root vegetable is originally from Peru. I recently bought it from my Belgian organic farmer, so I believe it can be easily grown anywhere in the world.

Yacon is rich in vitamin C and has a high content of FOS (fruit-oligosaccharides). This is a prebiotic fiber that feeds healthy gut bacteria.

Yacon is low in calories and a good alternative to regular potatoes, which are virtually fiberless and raise blood sugar levels too much. Diabetics or people with prediabetes, in particular, can greatly benefit from adding this healthy complex carbohydrate source to their diet.

Low glycemic index, low fructose content, yet very filling, so also great for weight loss!
