Known as "The Gold of the Incas", lucuma is one of South America's most treasured fruits. Due to export restrictions, the whole fruit cannot be shipped outside its native regions, making lucuma powder the perfect way to experience its unique flavor and nutritional benefits.
Our organic lucuma powder is sourced from Peru, fairly traded, and produced without heat to preserve its natural goodness.
Key Features:
Exotic and Rare: Since whole lucuma fruit can’t be exported, lucuma powder offers a rare opportunity to enjoy this prized food.
Delicious Flavour: With its unique shortbready, slightly caramel-like taste, lucuma powder is a perfect natural sweetener.
Raw and Nutrient-Rich: Produced without heat to retain its full nutritional profile.
Fairly Traded: Sustainably sourced from Peru, ensuring ethical practices and high-quality standards.
Nutritional Benefits:
Rich in Antioxidants: Lucuma powder contains polyphenols and carotenoids, known for their protective properties that help combat oxidative stress.
Natural Source of Fibre: Supports digestion and promotes gut health.
Low Glycemic Index: Provides a gentle sweetness without spiking blood sugar, making it a great alternative to refined sugars.
Mineral Boost: Lucuma is a natural source of iron, potassium, and calcium, supporting energy production, muscle function, and bone health.
Immune Support: Packed with vitamin C, lucuma powder can contribute to a stronger immune system and enhanced collagen production.
A staple in raw vegan kitchens, organic lucuma powder is an easy and versatile way to bring a touch of Peruvian tradition — and a hint of sweetness — to your favourite dishes.
Kate Magic's Favourite:
"Where would we be without lucuma powder? We would be stuck in the raw food dark ages, making all our cakes from dates and nuts, and getting stomach aches and sugar crashes afterwards. A must for delicious, high-energy, easily digestible cakes and desserts."
