What is Organic Lucuma Powder?
Lucuma is a golden Andean fruit (Pouteria lucuma), often called ‘Gold of the Incas’. We dry and mill it into a 100% pure powder with a naturally sweet, maple-and-custard-like flavour — a popular plant-based way to add sweetness and a soft caramel note to recipes.
Why you'll love it
Lucuma is naturally sweet, so it's widely used as an alternative to refined sugar in smoothies, desserts and baking. It carries natural carbohydrates and fibre, and brings a gentle, mellow sweetness that won't overpower other flavours.
How to use Lucuma Powder
Stir 1–2 teaspoons into smoothies, porridge, yoghurt and nice-cream, or use it in baking, raw treats and energy balls. It's a classic flavour in Peruvian ice cream and pairs beautifully with vanilla, banana and cacao.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does lucuma taste like?
Naturally sweet with a maple, caramel and custard-like flavour. It's mellow rather than sharp, so it blends smoothly into both drinks and bakes.
Is lucuma a sugar substitute?
It's a popular natural alternative to refined sugar in recipes, adding gentle sweetness and flavour. It isn't a zero-calorie sweetener — it's simply the whole fruit, dried and milled.
How much should I use?
Start with 1–2 teaspoons and adjust to taste. Because the sweetness is mild, some recipes use a generous tablespoon or more.
Can I bake with it?
Yes. It works well in baking, raw desserts, energy balls and homemade ice cream, and pairs especially well with vanilla, banana and cacao.
Is it vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, it's 100% lucuma, suitable for vegans and vegetarians, with no gluten ingredients. It is packed in an environment that also handles gluten, nuts and other allergens, so it is not suitable for those with severe allergies.
