While sometimes referred to as the Peruvian ground apple, Yacon is actually a distant relative of the sunflower. Reaching heights of 5-7 tall, both the leaves and tubers are edible. Traditionally the leaves were made into tea while the tubers were sliced and eaten raw. The syrup, derived from the roots, is used as a replacement for common sugars.
