Description:
Lucuma is a subtropical fruit of Andean origin. It is sometimes known as lucmo. In English it is known as the "eggfruit", a common name also given to the closely related canistel. The name "eggfruit" refers to the fruits’ dry flesh, which is similar in texture to a hard boiled egg yolk. The lucuma has particularly dry flesh which possesses a unique flavor of maple and sweet potato. It is a very nutritious fruit, having high levels of carotene, vitamin B3, and other B vitamins. The round or ovoid fruits are green, with a bright yellow flesh that is often fibrous, but bears an aftertaste that some find odd and unappealing. The largest concentration of this fruit is found in Chile and in the Peruvian regions of Cajamarca, Ancash, Lima, and Ayacucho. Fruits grown in the Peruvian highlands are considered to be of superior flavor, and are culturally revered.

It has recently become popular as a dried powder flavoring, and production of Peruvian fruits dried for export is increasing on a large scale. Lucuma is a popular flavoring for ice cream in its native range, and in Peru even exceeds the demand for more globally popular flavors such as strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla.

It is especially abundant in beta-carotene, niacin and iron with significant amounts of calcium and phosphorus. Discover the flavorful sensation of lucuma!

Suggested Uses: Enjoy it by itself or mix it in your favorite treat. For an extra special treat, make sure to combine it with some raw cacao nibs, vanilla bean, and coconut butter. Blend into a creamy delight. Lucuma powder can add creamy delight to any smoothie. Mix well in smoothies or yogurt, sprinkle on top of cereals, flavor ice cream, mix with flours to make desserts!
