【The Blessings of the Andes, The Miracle of the Highlands】 'Tenei Yacon' Weaves a Healthy Future

The refreshing climate of Tenei Village at high altitude and the passion of the farmers have given birth to the village's symbol, the healthy vegetable 'Tenei Yacon'. This mysterious vegetable, rooted in the Andes of South America, has become a true gift from the earth by meeting the soil of Tenei, combining ultimate 'functionality' and 'deliciousness'.

■ 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, spreading a refined sweetness in your mouth.
  • The ultimate health vegetable: Boasting a high nutritional value that is referred to as a 'lump of oligosaccharides', it is rich in dietary fiber and polyphenols. Its ability to regulate the body from the inside out has drawn attention as a 'food supplement' that aligns with modern lifestyles.

■ 'Tenei Brand' Born from Tradition and Passion

Tenei Village has long refined 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 tea and sweets. The Yacon dishes that can be found throughout the village gently satisfy the hearts and stomachs of travelers visiting this land.

A healthy and pure 'root' nurtured by the rich earth of Tenei. With every bite, experience the mysterious flavor from the Andes that delights the body. Why not try it yourself?
