How to store yacon

Put the cut yacon on a plate and cover it with plastic wrap. It is best to drive away excess air and keep the yacon in the refrigerator. This can not only isolate some oxygen, but also lower the temperature and inhibit Browning reaction. Soak the cut yacon in clean water. The main purpose is to isolate oxygen, slow down the oxidation process and prevent the yacon from turning black.

According to the International Potato Center, yacon is rich in sweet fructo-oligosaccharides. There are no enzymes in the human body that can hydrolyze this carbohydrate, so it is difficult to be absorbed. Diabetics can also use it. . Yacon is rich in more than 20 kinds of amino acids and a variety of vitamins and minerals needed by the human body, especially the highest content of oligosaccharides, which can promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms.

The yacon will be slowly oxidized after being peeled and cut. This oxidation process takes about ten minutes. After the yacon is cut or peeled, put it into clean cold water as soon as possible. After soaking, the oxygen concentration in the water is low, and the oxidation is slowed down. At the same time, the tannic acid generated by the oxidation will also dissolve in the water, which can prevent the yacon fruit from turning black.
