Product description Since 200 AD Lucuma has been cultivated by the Moche People of the Peruvian Highlands. Once known as ‘the gold of the Incas’, archaeological sites in the area have found ceramic depictions of the Lucuma fruit with clear illustrations of it being associated with fertility ceremonies. The fruit has spread throughout South America and is now grown in Ecuador, Chile and Bolivia. Drinks, cakes, pies, ice cream and many other foods have this sweet nutritious fruit as a flavouring. What Are The Benefits? Our Organic Lucuma Powder is High in Potassium, the third most abundant mineral in the human body, vital for the functioning of all living cells.

The ripe inner flesh is a very similar texture to pumpkin and can be quite hard. To make Organic Lucuma powder the ripe fruit is dehydrated under 45°C in special dehydrators until thoroughly dry. The fruits are then milled into a fine powder and all batches are tested for microbial activity and heavy metals before being made ready for shipping.
