Detox Your World Organic Lucuma Powder 100 Grams
Lúcuma (Loo-Ku-Mah) whole fruit powder is our favourite gourmet addition to all sweets! It's got a rich, creamy texture and will turn your culinary creations into gourmet heavenly delights. Lúcuma powder is really versatile and tasty, blending easily and well with ice-creams, baby food, yogurts, pies, cakes, cookies, smoothies, chocolate bars and desserts of all kinds.
Lúcuma smells divine, and tastes like maple syrup flavoured ice-cream! In Peru, the yellow-orange fruit pulp is added to ice-cream and is Peru's favourite flavour.
Lúcuma fruit is an excellent source of carbohydrates, fibre, vitamins and minerals. It is also high in beta-carotene, niacin (B3) and iron.
This exotic Peruvian fruit is also known as the "Gold of the Incas", and is also one of the
lost crops of the Incas. Peruvian culture is steeped in traditions rich in fine foods and cultural culinary delights. The Lúcuma name has been honoured both spiritually and in culinary since ancient times. Today, this fruit is still prominent in contemporary celebrations. The lucmo is grown also, to a limited extent, in the Andes of eastern Bolivia and the fruit is sold in the markets of La Paz. It is most popular in central Chile, less so in Ecuador. In 1776, it was reported as planted only in the warmest parts of northern Chile. In 1912, there were a few trees growing in gardens around San Jose, Costa Rica where the lucmo was introduced by returning exiles in the first half of the 19th Century. In 1915, O.F. Cook collected seeds at Ollantaytambo, Peru, for the United States
Department of Agriculture (S.P.I. 41332).
