WHERE IS IT FROM: The local, Lokuma fruit we use in the sub-tropical rainforest valleys of South America is grown & harvested in the Peruvian Andes. It has been eaten there for over 2,000 years, Lucuma was used by the Incans as a nutritional food and it is still used widely in Peruvian cuisine. Lucuma is the most popular fruit in Peru by far, because of its sweet taste & its high nutritional value - the locals always know the value of this 'superfruit'.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: Historically, lucuma trees have provided food to families and villages when other crops were in short supply, so locals saw it as both a stable source of food and an 'insurance policy' against crop failure. The lucuma fruits in our powders are grown in a completely chemical-free environment. Fruit cultivation is expanding as it becomes more and more popular around the world, creating more jobs for Peruvian farmers.

Description:
Sourced from farms in Pesco (central Peru), Lucuma is a raw gourmet, nutrient-dense fruit. Dubbed the “Gold of Incas” this exotic Peruvian fruit is celebrated for its flagrant flavour. Lucuma has extracted from the Peruvian Highlands and bodies a wealthy source of minerals and vitamins. The complex combination of carbohydrates makes this sub-tropical food an essential “superfood”. The fruit is selected for the best quality, cleaned by hand in natural water and organically ground into a powder with no additives. A natural sweetener, Lucuma powder is prominent within the Peruvian Andes as ice-cream flavouring.
Lucuma powder is made from the fruit of the lucumo tree, which is like a cross between an avocado and a mango, with an avocado-pit-size seed in the middle. This tree belongs to the Andean region of South America.
PURE & PREMIUM PRODUCT: Lucuma powder is grown, harvested, dried and ground in Peru from only the finest fruit of the lucumo tree. A natural sweet, it has a creamy, sweet taste that is more delicate than most sugars, and is usually compared to maple syrup, butterscotch and brown sugar.
USES: Lucuma powder is an excellent and nutritious alternative to sugar, which has very low glycaemic content. It can be used in anything you usually add sugar to, such as tea, coffee, hot chocolate, smoothies, ice cream, shakes, desserts, cereals, baked goods, etc. In Chile, it is a very popular flavour in its own right for ice-cream.
