Do you know where I can buy the following: 1. Yacon Tubers to eat / to try? 2. Yacon Chips / Crisps? 3. Yacon Syrup? 4. Yacon Powder?

It does best in the ground, but I have grown it in a large pot successfully. We have grown it for years, the kids love it! A lot of people sell yacon, try allclassifieds.com.au or eBay
