Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love Yacon Syrup. Its flavor profile makes it amazing in recipes where one might otherwise use molasses--so anything with chocolate, coconut, cinnamon, spice, etc. I've heard that heat robs it of a lot of its health benefits, so I use it in low temp recipes only, like paleo chocolate bars or shakes. I have tried a couple of brands now and I found this particular brand satisfactory and a reasonable price. When you read reviews of Yacon Syrup you’ll often find people complaining about the syrup solidifying in the bottom. In my experience, that happens regardless of which brand of Yacon Syrup you buy. At least 1/4 of the bottle’s contents will always solidify at the bottom. Using hot water to get this last bit out is impossible, as it solidifies to the consistency of caramel, which simply won’t come out through the narrow neck of the bottle no matter what you do. Now, whenever I buy Yacon Syrup, regardless of the brand, I always decant it into a wide-mouth glass jar. Then, to get my full money’s worth, I carefully cut off the top of the plastic bottle and use a knife or spatula to dig out the thick solids at the bottom and stir it into the jar with the rest. The thick stuff is perfectly good … it’s just too thick to come out the narrow neck of the bottle. And even though it will still solidify at the bottom of the glass jar over time, it’s a whole lot easier to get it out with a spatula (and there’ll be less of it, because it’s easier to stir the syrup as you use it.)
