Natures Root Organic Lucuma Powder
Lucuma is a sweet and edible fruit originated in Peru. It is commonly added to ice-cream vanilla or chocolate, especially in Chile and Peru, mainly because it tastes like a maple syrup ice cream. It is referred by Incas as “Inca’s Gold” as it’s their natural source of sugar. The fruit is naturally sweet but has a low glycemic index, making it a good fruit for those who are on a diet. Making it into powder makes it a good substitute for table sugar. It is also a suggested sweetener for diabetics.
The powder is produced from the fruit by drying it a t low temperatures and later milled into fine grains. It is a low glycemic sweetener that contains iron, beta carotene, fiber, carbohydrates and niacin. It is a source of antioxidants and key nutrients.
