Lucuma, also known by its Latin name Pouteria lucuma, is a yellow-orange fruit originating from the Andean region of South America, mainly from Peru, Chile, and Ecuador. It is characterized by a unique texture and distinct taste reminiscent of a combination of caramel, vanilla, and pumpkin puree. Due to its unique flavour, lucuma is often used as a sweetener in many dishes, desserts, and drinks.
In addition to its sweetness, it is also valued for its naturally high content of fiber and minerals, as it represents an excellent source of calcium, potassium, sodium, and iron, which are important for our body as they participate in numerous metabolic reactions and processes in the body.
FutuNatura's BIO Lucuma contains only 100% natural lucuma powder, produced from organic farming and therefore without additives.
Lucuma powder allows for easier dosing and versatile use, as it can be added to dishes or eaten on its own - mix it into a glass of water, tea, or juice, or use it to sweeten dishes, hot drinks, and various desserts.
Recommended use: Mix 2-3 teaspoons (10-15 g) of lucuma powder in water or juice and drink.
You can use it as a substitute for regular sugar - to sweeten coffee, tea, smoothies or other drinks. You can also use it in baking desserts, as an addition to yogurt, with cereal, or anywhere else you would normally use regular sugar.
