This raw Lucuma powder is grown and produced in Peru. It is made from the dried fruit of the Lucuma tree, a subtropical plant native to the Andean valley. Known as the ‘Gold of the Incas’ this fruit has been eaten and treasured in ceremonies since ancient times. Lucuma has a sweet, slightly citric, caramel flavour and an enticing aroma. The powder is a natural light brown colour and has a wonderful creamy texture. It can be used as a flavour boost and sweetener in beverages, desserts, raw foods and baking recipes.

How to Use:

Lucuma is scrumptious in smoothies and fruit juice, or enjoy as a refreshing combo with coconut water. It can also add lovely sweetness and flavour to iced or warm herbal teas and chai. Or enjoy it with yoghurt, fresh fruit, and sprinkled over Acai bowls.

This raw powder is delightful in home-made ice cream and chocolates; raw food slices, balls and puddings; desserts, pancakes and baking recipes. Use it in place of sugar and other sweeteners, or just add a few tbsps. to your favourite recipes for the wonderful caramel and citrus flavours.
