Lucuma Powder

Our Lucuma fruits is grown in the cool highlands of the Oxapampa Region in the Peruvian Andes. The peaceful, fresh and lush green soils in the valley infuse the sweet fruit with nutrition and vitality.
Swollen fruits naturally fall to the ground at maturity, ripening for several days until they're at peak flavor. After a patient wait, the fruits are peeled, pitted and dehydrated at low temperatures to preserve the fruit’s nutrient component before being milled into a fine, whole-fruit powder that’s easy to use.
