Organic Raw Lucuma Powder

Lucuma is the powdered fruit of Pouteria lucuma, an evergreen tree which grows naturally in the Andean regions of South America. Sevenhills Wholefoods source Lucuma from Peru, where for many centuries it has been part of local cultures and diets.

Honoured since the time of the Incas, even today Lucuma remains popular in its native region where, thanks to its pleasant, custard-like flavour it is much used as a flavouring agent for ice cream.

Processing

Our Organic Lucumas are handpicked, cleaned and their seed is removed. The fruit is then dried where it can later be milled and packaged.

Benefits

The fruit powder is rich in dietary fibre, which can help regulate energy, support bone health, sustain cell-membrane function and have been consumed to aid cell division and protein absorption efficiency.
The powder has a sweet, vanilla-like flavour.
A low GI sweetener used as an alternative to sugar
