Ingredient Overview
Lucuma is an Andean fruit recognised for its mellow sweetness. Its dried pulp provides a distinctive fruit ingredient for sweet food blends and dessert concepts.
Lucuma powder is made from heat-treated Pouteria lucuma pulp, without the seed. Lucuma’s mild sweetness and distinctive fruit character can suit creamy desserts, cocoa combinations and bakery blends. The pulp-derived powder supplies fruit solids as well as taste. It is useful when a recipe is designed around the whole fruit’s character rather than an intensely sweet isolated ingredient.
