lucuma powder, raw, organic

Superfoodies’ Organic Lucuma Powder comes from a fruit native to the Peruvian Andean region. It smells divine and has a creamy sweet citrusy maple flavour. This low GI natural sweetener is a delicious alternative to sugar for those following a low sugar diet. Now that we are being encouraged to watch the amount of sugar in our diet, Lucuma is a fantastic rescue ingredient since it adds sweetness and flavour but won’t take your blood sugar levels on a hike to high altitude!

Lucuma Powder also provides beta-carotene known for immune support, B vitamins as well as iron, calcium, zinc and potassium.

Lucuma is a popular ice cream flavour in Peru and is more popular than vanilla and chocolate in many countries. Mix with Cacao Powder for a delicious creamy chocolate drink sensation, use to sweeten and thicken smoothies, or as an alternative to sugar in baking and ice-creams.

Check out our recipe section for many ideas for using Lucuma Powder in healthy recipes. One of our favourites is this luscious Lucuma Icecream.
