[The Blessing of the Andes, the Miracle of the Highlands] The Healthy Future Woven by 'Tenei Yacon'

Born from the refreshing climate of Tenei Village at high altitude and the passion of its farmers, the health vegetable that symbolizes the village is 'Tenei Yacon'. This mysterious vegetable, with roots in the South American Andes, has become a true gift from the earth, possessing the ultimate 'functionality' and 'deliciousness' through its encounter with Tenei's soil.

■ 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 a high nutritional value, often referred to as a 'mass of oligosaccharides', it is rich in dietary fiber and polyphenols. Its ability to regulate the body from within has garnered attention as a 'food supplement' that aligns with modern lifestyles.

■ The 'Tenei Brand' Born from Tradition and Passion

Tenei Village has long been a pioneer in Yacon cultivation, continuously refining its quality over the years.

  • Diverse Enjoyment: Of course, it can be used raw in salads, but also in kinpira, tempura, and even in teas and sweets. 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 Tenei's rich earth. With each bite, experience the joy of the body and the mysterious flavors derived from the Andes.
