Tenei Yacon

【Gifts of the Andes, Miracles of the Highlands】The healthy future spun by 'Tenei Yacon'

The refreshing climate of Tenei Village at high altitude and the passion of the farmers have given birth to the health vegetable that symbolizes the village, 'Tenei Yacon'. This mysterious vegetable, rooted in the South American Andes, has become a true gift from the earth, combining ultimate 'functionality' and 'deliciousness' through its encounter with Tenei's soil.

■ Surprising texture, overflowing with 'pear-like sweetness'

The greatest feature of Yacon lies in its juiciness, which is unimaginable from its appearance that resembles a sweet potato.

• Crispy delight: With one bite, the crunchy, pear-like texture resonates, and a refined sweetness spreads in your mouth.
• Ultimate health vegetable: Boasting high nutritional value, often referred to as 'a lump of oligosaccharides', it is rich in dietary fiber and polyphenols. Its ability to balance the body from within has garnered attention as a 'food supplement' that aligns with modern lifestyles.

■ 'Tenei Brand' born from tradition and passion

Tenei Village has long polished its quality as a pioneer in Yacon cultivation.

• Diverse enjoyment: Of course, it can be used raw in salads, but also in kinpira, tempura, and even in teas and sweets. The Yacon dishes that can be encountered throughout the village gently satisfy the hearts and stomachs of travelers visiting this land.

A healthy and pure 'root' nurtured by the rich soil of Tenei. With each bite, your body rejoices; why not experience the mysterious flavor derived from the Andes?
