Natural Organic Lucuma Powder
About Lucuma Fruit
Lucuma fruit (also called lucmo or eggfruit) grows on the lucumo tree, which is native to South America. Known as the "Gold of the Incas," the fruit is grown in Chile, Ecuador, and Peru. It has soft yellow flesh, a dry texture, and a hard green shell, with an appearance somewhere between an avocado and a mango. Elsewhere, lucuma powder (or flour) is often sold in health food stores, but it can be expensive. The powder is made by dehydrating the fruit and then grinding it into a fine powder, a process designed to preserve the fruit's high nutritional value. It can be stirred right out of the package into food and drinks.
