Yellow lucuma powder has a unique, maple-like taste that’s a delight in a variety of recipes.
BENEFITS:
Low glycemic sweetener
Peru is home to incredible biological diversity and over 40 ethnic groups, resulting in a true treasure chest of valuable plants and deep knowledge. Lucuma is grown sustainably without the use of pesticides, and is intercropped with other plants to increase the benefits for farmers.
Several traditional and folk healing systems note the medicinal use of lucuma. It's a healthy low-sugar alternative that is safe for diabetics. It is also a good source of trace nutrients, antioxidants, and key micronutrients.
Lucuma Powder is a healthy food, not a miracle drug. These statements herein have not been reviewed by the FDA. Navitas Naturals products are not intended to treat, diagnose, cure or prevent any disease.
Given it's fruity flavour, Lucuma can be used as a natural low GI sweetener. This makes it safe for diabetics, and great for the rest of us to help stabilise blood sugar (critical for all bodily cell function), and even out energy levels. It can be substituted for regular sugar in a 2:1 ratio (2 Tablespoons Lucuma for every 1 Tablespoon sugar).
Lucuma's rich antioxidant content means it helps to fight and prevent disease, and slow the aging process. The fruit is used as a natural healing medicine in South America, due to its antibiotic, antimicrobial and antifungal properties.
As a fruit, Lucuma is full of healthy carbs. That's right, Healthy + Carbs (you haven't heard those two in a sentence for a while right). Whole food carbohydrates are essential for the body, providing energy and fuel, and helping our brain to function. Ever wondered why you can't concentrate after a carb-restrictive day? Precisely. Paleo-peeps you especially need to increase your whole food carbohydrate intake given your lack of grains. Lucuma is a perfect way to do that.
Lucuma has the same amount of calcium as a glass of cow's milk, as well as plentiful amounts of beta-carotene (an anti-carcinogen), zinc, iron, vitamin C, niacin (B3), and fiber. It also contains 14 essential trace minerals.
Did I mention the most popular ice cream flavour in Peru is Lucuma? Make your own by blending in a blender or food processor 1/2c lucuma powder, 1c cashews (soaked for 2 hours then drained), 2cm vanilla bean or 1 Tbsp vanilla extract/powder, 1/4c coconut nectar, a pinch of organic sea salt and 1c water. Freeze, then remove for a tantalising taste of Peru.
Whiz up a Zabaglione-style Smoothie
For a delicious Zabaglione style dessert or afternoon tea pick me up, blend 1 Tbsp lucuma, 1 frozen banana, 1 medjool date, 1tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2c coconut/nut milk and 1/2c ice. Sprinkle with extra cinnamon and serve. Insane.
Add a teaspoon to your overnight bircher muesli for a delicious creamy caramel flavour. Ready to take it next level? Add a teaspoon of mesquite as well. Or try out this Raw Pear, Coconut & Chia Bircher recipe for size.
Mix 1 tablespoon of lucuma with 1 tablespoon mesquite, and a few tablespoons of coconut nectar, yacon nectar, or agave nectar. Instant caramel sauce! Take it one step further and whiz up in your blender with 1/2c cashews (soaked for 2 hours then drained) and 1/2c water for a delicious creamy caramel sauce to pour over fruit, icecream, or pancakes.
Add a tablespoon of lucuma to your favourite organic natural nut butter (homemade is best). It will impart a slightly subtle caramel sweetness. Think toned down Reese peanut butter cups. Delicious.
The citrusy flavour of lucuma lends itself perfectly to pairing with a delicious, raw, citrus tart.
