Production & Sourcing
Lucuma Powder is made through a process that begins with harvesting ripe lucuma fruits, which are native to the Andean region in South America. The fruits are carefully selected, peeled, and their seeds removed, leaving only the nutrient-rich pulp. The pulp is then dehydrated through a gentle process, often involving low-temperature drying, to preserve the natural flavors and nutritional content. Once dehydrated, the dried lucuma pulp is ground into a fine powder. This method ensures that the sweet and caramel-like flavor, as well as the vibrant color and nutritional benefits of the lucuma fruit, are retained in the resulting powder.
