SKU: HL01-025
Hurry up! Sales Ends In
Botanical name: Pouteria lucuma
Origin: Peru
Production: Lucuma is an evergreen tree that is native to the Andean valleys and commonly grown in Peru, Ecuador, and Chile. The large round fruit turns yellow when it is mature and is usually harvested annually between November and April.
Qualities: The dried, powdered flesh of the Lucuma fruit is said to help control blood sugar levels, and is rich in vitamins and minerals. It contains high levels of iron and helps with hemoglobin production.
Common Use: Lucuma powder has a sweet, maple-like flavor, and is nutritionally rich, adding both health benefits and sweetness to any meal. I can be used as a low-glycemic sweetener in baking, ice creams, and dessert.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
Safety: We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using any herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.

Delicious!
I love putting lucuma into my coffee along with maca and cacao. It adds a subtle sweetness and creaminess!
Fabulous!
I use it to sweeten and thicken smoothies for the kiddos. They have no clue that it's so chalked full of fibre.
Very good lucuma powder!
Very fast delivery! I was using this lucuma powder for my chocolate it’s great and tasty!
Fruity flavor
I bought this to add to my morning chicory barley beverage. It adds a tad of sweetness and a mildly fruity flavor. The first taste was a little odd, but the second was good. I bought it as an alternative sweetener- it's not sweet enough for that. But it is good for antioxidants.
Good
Great mellow flavour with hints of caramel and maple.
