Yacón is not as widely grown in NA as it is now in Europe, and it's just not as easily available there. You might try asking Telsing on <a href="http://veggiepatchreimagined.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Veggie Patch Reimagined</a> blog. I don't think she herself is growing it, but I remember she looked into it a while ago and probably has some more up to date information for Canada than I do. Hi Bonnie,

Looking forward to your taste test. I love the soft fuzzy look of yacon and of course, the harvest is pretty impressive looking too. Looking forward to your taste test.

Perfect combination of prebiotic and probiotic - guaranteed immortality. The morado seems to have yellower flesh and a slightly different taste and texture. I think it was less sweet. I haven't been able to harvest my plants yet, so am not expecting them to have survived, but who knows? I’m just making some lactofermented pickles from yacon – I’ll let you know how they go.
