A sweet treasure
with tremendous power.

The lucuma is a sweet treasure that was discovered by the Incas long ago, which is why it’s also known as the “Gold of the Incas.”

Are you looking for a healthy and effective sweetener with a hint of mango and apricot, plus a caramel aroma? Try the wonderfully sweet aroma of lucuma! With 350 kilocalories per 100 grams, this orange-colored fruit is a real calorie bomb. But the lucuma, whose brown pit resembles that of an avocado, is chock full of goodies like calcium, iron, zinc, and beta carotene.

In the countries where it’s cultivated, the lucuma has become kind of a national fruit. If you’re looking for inspiration: The most popular ice cream flavor in Peru is lucuma-cashew.
