The topic in this clip is Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) which is all edible and amazing - the sweet crisp tubers, the purple crown and the large soft leaves. Yacon is a perennial from the daisy family - related to the sunflower - and originally from the Andes, this plant is used for culinary and medicinal purposes. Eat the root raw or cooked. Use the leaves as spinach or a wrap. Make yacon syrup from the roots as a sugar alternative for diabetics. It's also a great mid-story plant in your forest garden. A perennial in warm climates and an annual in cooler areas. Feel free to share this clip and all Morag's youtube clips! Make sure to subscribe too.
