Product Description |
|
This exotic Peruvian fruit (pronounced "loo-ku-mah?) was once known as the "Gold of the Incas". It has strong fragrance and a full-bodied maple like flavor with a firm and rich pumpkin-like pulp that is orange and yellow in color. The fruits are an excellent source of carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins and minerals?including remarkable concentrations of beta-carotene, niacin and iron. The Lucuma fruit has been honored both spiritually and culinarily since ancient times in the Peruvian culture. Our Organic Lucuma powder is an extremely versatile and tasty ingredient which blends well with ice creams, baby food, yogurts, pies, cakes, cookie fillings and desserts and can be used to make Lucuma mousse, pudding or parfait. It can be used as a flour to make pies, cakes and pastries and can also be added to smoothies, milk and other beverages. Lúcuma is a popular flavoring for ice cream in its native areas and, in Peru, even exceeds the demand for more globally popular flavors such as strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla |

I heard about Lucuma when I watched Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. The show said Lucuma is blended into milk shakes and is a flavored preferred over any other. Andrew said it has caramel-like taste. Since fresh Lucuma is not available to me I decided to give the powder a try. The powder does have a slight "powdery" taste but it doesn't taste caramel-like to me. I did blend the powder in homemade frozen custard and it wasn't until I added some finely chopped pecans that it hit me, this is "maple nut". So if you are a fan of maple nut ice cream, then you will enjoy Lucuma in your plain ice cream. I am glad I have the opportunity to try things that are not indigenous to my country. |
