Naturya Organic Lucuma Powder 150g

Wonderfully, naturally sweet - it’s the perfect ingredient for cakes, bakes and ice-cream Rich in fibre Organic, gluten-free, kosher and vegan When mature fruit falls from the lucuma tree it isn’t ripe, and the pulp too hard to eat. The fruit must be stored under hay to break down the bitter, white latex and softens. However even when fully ripe the flesh remains relatively firm. Ripe fruit is then thoroughly washed and cut into small segments, which are fully dehydrated at – 45°C. It’s then carefully milled into a fine powder, which can be stored for two years, retaining its nutty, caramel flavour. Our lucuma powder is rigorously tested for microbial activity, guaranteeing a natural product of exceptional purity. How do I use it?

So we only source from Peru’s best – to bring you the best.
