Almitas FAQs

Almitas Yacon Syrup is an industry-leader when it comes to its nutritional profile. 

In independent laboratory tests, food scientists have found that Almitas Yacon Syrup contains 30% Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), which is the highest amount of any yacon syrup on the market. FOS is a vital prebiotic, and one of the main reasons yacon is considered a superfood. 

Yes. Almitas superfoods are grown and harvested using traditional, time-honoured native methods and sources that have been around centuries before modern genetic engineering. That makes them naturally and proudly non-GMO.

In addition, all of our supplier-partners (in Peru and Canada) have organic certifications that cover each stage of a product’s growth, harvesting, processing, and packaging.

Rest assured, if feeding your family organic and non-GMO foods is vital to you, Almitas has you covered.

Food safety and quality are two pillars of Almitas’s foundation. From our farms to your table, we have a transparent process that protects our products every step of the way. That is why we seek out and form alliances with supplier-partners who value these practices and beliefs as much as we do.

In Peru, our supplier-partners have processing facilities that are certified by HACCP and GMP. These globally recognized systems and practices ensure both the safety and quality of our products.

At the other end of the chain, in Canada, we have sought out supplier-partners who are certified under BRC Global Standards, the leader in safety and quality standards for manufacturers. The supplier-partner who fills our Yacon Syrup into jars and bottles has a BRC Global Standards certified facility with an AA rating. For our other superfoods, we are in the process of confirming a supplier-partner who can uphold these same high standards.

Almitas is the consumer brand of Canadian superfood company Linkus Global. Linkus built its reputation as the go-to supplier for the superfood ingredients used in a variety of ready-made products. Almitas’s goal is to provide the same industry-leading quality to consumers that its parent company has, for years, provided to North American food manufacturers.

There are many good options on the market, each with their own unique focus. At Almitas, our foundation is based on answering one question: Shouldn’t superfoods be “super”? And, by that, we mean super in all the ways that help ensure our customers and partners can both live their best lives.

That’s why we focus on seven foundational pillars*:

2. Food Safety;
3. Food Quality;
4. Affordability;
