Talk:Yacón

Culture
I removed some of the text from the Culture section because it sounded too much like a how-to guide. It still seems that way a bit, but I think it's better now. Mycota 19:26, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

The article states that the root contains no calories! This seems a little bit unlikely. Perhaps this should be rephrased to say "... inulin .... so despite the sweet taste the root is not as high in calories as might be expected"

Has any one in the UK grown this before May 1999? I have been informed that a lot of allotment holders grow this —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.155.26.62 (talk • contribs).

I've restored the references with the links commented out. There's no policy that says you can only cite references that are available over the Web. I left them as HTML comments in case CIP restores them or they prove otherwise useful for finding new URLs for them later. Waitak 12:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Diacritics in article title
I would strongly suggest that the title of this page be corrected to read "Yacon" without the diacritics (accent). Yacon is a word from indigenous South American people, which has been adopted in the Spanish-Latin American lexicon. However, in English this crop is referred to by the widely accepted name "yacon" without diacritics. All the scientific articles in the English language use "yacon", and also a Google search shows that yacon is overwhelmingly the term of choice in English. Has anyone reasoned objections to correcting the spelling? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NusHub (talk • contribs) 16:50, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
