During a recent trip to Baguio, I visited a friend who has no-
ticeably lost some unwanted pounds. She said part of the reason for her weight loss is yacon, which she said is very effective in relieving hunger. She showed me a yacon. It looked like a large ‘kamote’ but it tasted like turnip. Please write about this food product in your column. Is it true that it has many medicinal properties? —Norma J., Pasay City.
