What makes Yacon special?
Its massive root system works like a natural storage unit:
-Stores water for dry seasons
-Reaches deep into poor soil
-Produces edible tubers
-Needs minimal fertilizer

Meet Yacon - a plant native to the Andes mountains.
For thousands of years, local farmers grew it with their other crops.
While most plants struggle in harsh mountain conditions,
Yacon doesn't just survive - it thrives.
