How to turn Dried Yacon into a Sweet Treat - with Morag Gamble | Day 24 Plastic Free July 2020

Grow natural sweet treats easily in your garden, actually underground, with Yacon - another way to avoid single-use packaging. Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) is a perennial herbaceous plant native to the Andes. I grow it around my garden and dig it up when the tops die back in winter. Slice and dry it at 50-60 degrees for a simple and delicious dried apple alternative. Eat it raw, juiced, cooked or dried. How do you prepare yours? Each day I've been sharing a simple plastic free July tip. One more week - what suggestions do you have?
