Yacon
This carrot is somewhat less well known than we would actually like. In fact, it is extremely delicious. For those who do not know it: the yacon (or also called apple carrot). This root vegetable comes from the Andes and looks like a large potato tuber. Its taste is juicy and sweet and is similar to an apple. This therefore explains the name “apple root. You can eat it well raw or bake or cook it. For example, the yacon is delicious as a fresh addition to salads or in a curry.
