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

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 Andes of South America, has become a true gift of the earth by encountering the soil of Tenei, combining the ultimate 'functionality' and 'deliciousness'.

■ Surprising texture, overflowing 'pear-like sweetness'

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

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

■ '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 enjoyed raw in salads, as well as in kinpira, tempura, and even in tea 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 earth of Tenei. Would you like to experience the mysterious taste derived from the Andes that brings joy to your body with every bite?
