Question: What is Lucuma Powder?

Answer: Lucuma Powder comes from the exotic Peruvian fruit, also known as the 'Gold of the Incas' and is considered to be one of the lost crops of the Incas.

Our raw, high-purity powder comes directly from the subtropical fruit that grows naturally in the Andean region of South America, Peru. The fruit is dried at low temperatures after being harvested and then carefully milled into fine powder. This process retains the high nutritional value and allows for maximum digestion and absorption when consumed.

Question: How is Lucuma Powder Used?

Answer: The unique fruit is often eaten raw in its native countries where it grows. We prefer it in its powder form though. Our pure Lucuma Powder has a lovely sweet caramelized taste and can be blended into a breakfast smoothie or used in cooking sweet things.

It can also be cooked and consumed to make the texture in your dish softer and smoother-much like the texture of a cooked squash or sweet potato.

However, one of the best purposes of lucuma is when it's used as a sweetener. The dried powder of the lucuma is a perfect way to add a unique sweet flavor to your favorite foods and beverages while maintaining a low glycemic index.

Question: Is This Lucuma Powder Gluten Free?

Answer: Yes, our particular powder is gluten free, organic and doesn't have any additional ingredients added to it.

In addition to being gluten-free , it has a high source of antioxidants, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals necessary for bodily functions and of benefit to the immune system.
