Organic lucuma powder – heavenly delicious fruit powder

What is Lucuma Powder?

Lucuma (Pouteria lucuma), the "sweet gold of the Incas", is a subtropical, exotic fruit from South America that has long been revered by the ancient Andean culture.

Why Buy Lucuma Powder?

• Healthy fruit sweetness with a low glycemic index
• Particularly rich in beta-carotene, iron, vitamins B1 and B2
• Versatile ingredient for cakes, desserts and ice cream

It has been one of our favorite foods since we first met Lucuma powder.

The healthy fruit sweetness with a low glycemic index is particularly rich in beta-carotene, iron, vitamins B1 and B2.

Its biscuit-like sweetness makes it a favorite in (raw food) cakes, desserts and chocolates. We like to add it to our creams and ice creams and as a gourmet ingredient for all sweets - the wonderful aroma and the biscuit-like sweetness of the Lucuma powder refine every dessert. In Peru, the yellowish-orange fruit is the most popular flavor for ice cream.

What makes our Lucuma powder special?

• Free from pesticides and agrochemicals
• Raw food quality
• Gentle processing
• Best taste

Lucuma from SamaraNatura is free from pesticides and agrochemicals.

The Lucuma pulp is dried in a solar drying system at low temperatures according to raw food quality standards, then gently ground and then sieved.

Although lucuma thrives in other tropical regions as well, the taste of the fruits that grow in the Peruvian highlands is rated even better. This is where our Lucuma powder comes from. The taste of the beautiful, dark yellow powder is reminiscent of maple syrup and cashews.

How to use

Lucuma powder is an extremely versatile and tasty ingredient that goes well in ice creams, baby food, yogurts, cakes, chocolate and desserts and can be used for Lucuma mousse, pudding or parfait. It is ideal as a sweet flour for tarts, cakes and pastries and tastes great in smoothies, nut milk and other drinks.

The powder gives a rich, creamy consistency and turns your raw food creations into a heavenly gourmet treat! We mostly use it in sweet dishes, but we've been told that it tastes great in savory dishes too.

Just like Maca, Lucuma helps to merge and emulsify fats or oils with sugar or polysaccharides. For example, Lucuma is ideal as an ingredient for a meal or drink with cocoa chips (50% fat) and yacon root syrup (polysaccharides). It combines cocoa and yacon in taste and consistency.
