What to do if Yacon is moldy

Tianshan Snow Lotus is something we often saw on TV when we were young. It is an extremely precious and rare plant, so the value of yacon is self-evident. When we buy yacon from the supermarket, we must eat it in time after returning home. What if the yacon is moldy? What can we do to remedy this? Let us learn about it together and hope it will be helpful to everyone.

The Tianshan Snow Lotus has always been the most popular and beloved flower because of its tolerance to severe cold. Although people rarely go to the Tianshan Mountains to see the beauty of the snow lotus in person, yacon is indeed a fruit that can be seen on the market. However, the snow lotus is cold-resistant, while yacon must grow in the subtropics. Maybe they can grow in the same place, on plateaus with an altitude of more than 1,000 meters. However, the two things must not be confused. Yacon is definitely not the fruit of the Tianshan Snow Lotus. As for why it is called yacon, it is still unknown. Maybe it’s because the shape of yacon is more like snow lotus.

Yacon is a relatively rare fruit and is rarely seen in the north. It is more common in the south, but it is still not a fruit that people eat regularly in their daily lives. It has only appeared on the market in recent years and has gradually become known to people. In fact, yacon is very nutritious and beneficial to human health. So what are the effects of yacon? Let’s discuss it together.

1. Aid digestion. Because yacon is very rich in fiber, it can significantly promote gastrointestinal motility, moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, help improve constipation, and prevent and treat diarrhea, so it is known as the nemesis of gastrointestinal diseases. What's even more magical is that it is a proliferation factor of intestinal bifidobacteria. Bifidobacteria are beneficial bacteria in the intestines and can promote intestinal health. Yacon can stimulate the increase of bifidobacteria, which is more beneficial to intestinal digestion and absorption. It can remove environmental pollutants brought into the human body through food and is the scavenger and protector of the stomach and intestines.

2. It has the effect of clearing the liver and detoxifying. Yacon also contains 20 kinds of amino acids and minerals and trace elements such as calcium, iron, potassium, and selenium. Regular consumption can improve the body's immunity. It has the effect of strengthening the body, so it can clear the liver and detoxify, and it is very effective for acne on the face caused by excessive liver fire.

3. Lower blood sugar. Yacon is also a fruit rich in carbohydrates, but the difference is that the carbohydrates in other fruits are very easy to absorb, while the carbohydrates in yacon are difficult to absorb. This component called "fructooligosaccharide" is the least absorbed by the human body. Therefore, eating more yacon can lower blood sugar. At the same time, patients who already have diabetes can also eat more yacon to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Will not cause blood sugar to rise.

4. Beauty and facial care. As its name suggests, the flesh of yacon is snow-white, and because it is very rich in nutrients, it is also a holy product for women to maintain beauty. Eating yacon regularly can make your skin whiter, tenderer and smoother. It is an edible beauty product.

5. Antioxidant. Yacon is rich in many antioxidant substances and can effectively resist free radicals. Therefore, it can prevent inflammation, tumors and cancer.

Yacon is a magical fruit, but its flower is not that magical, so don’t get confused.

In daily life, both daily necessities and daily food have a shelf life. We must use or eat them within this limited date. Although moldy yacon is a bad thing, we can make full use of the moldy yacon to do other things, so as not to waste the yacon and make full use of the moldy yacon.
