How one man's health journey became the world's finest yacon syrup
From Personal Discovery to Global Innovation.
Born from necessity, driven by purpose. The Yacon Company emerged when personal health met global opportunity – creating a solution that helps the world reduce sugar naturally.
When Health Crisis Becomes Innovation Opportunity
In 2019, our co-founder Thierry faced a life-changing diagnosis: type 2 diabetes.
Traditional sweeteners left him unsatisfied – until he discovered yacon syrup. For the first time, he found sweetness that actually helped manage his condition while tasting incredible.
But finding consistent, high-quality yacon syrup proved nearly impossible. That frustration became our mission.
Thierry's personal journey illuminated a global challenge: 50% of the world suffers from obesity, while food manufacturers struggle to create products that are both delicious and healthy. Yacon syrup wasn't just the solution to Thierry's diabetes; it was the answer to a global crisis.
Complete Control, Uncompromised Quality
Most ingredient suppliers buy raw materials and process them. We grow ours.
We built our own processing facility in Peru's yacon heartland and established direct partnerships with over 100 local farmers. This vertical integration means we control every variable that affects quality – from soil health to harvest timing to final processing.
The result?
The world's most consistent, potent yacon syrup.
Helping the Planet Kick Sugar, One Product at a Time
Every day, we work with food manufacturers and nutrition brands who share our vision: a world where sweetness and health aren't mutually exclusive.
From NUTRI PURE's collagen bars to SYMBIOSE KEFIR's probiotic sodas, we're helping brands create products that don't just taste great – they make consumers feel great. Each partnership represents thousands of people who can now enjoy sweetness without compromising their health goals.
As global awareness of sugar's health impact grows, yacon syrup represents the bridge between what people want and what's good for them. We're not just selling an ingredient – we're enabling a healthier future.
