Description

Keep things sweet and healthy with this Organic Lucuma Powder – 5½ oz. Lucuma is a fruit native to South America that is often powdered to use as an all-natural sweetener. It has a light taste often compared to maple, butterscotch, and brown sugar. It’s best as a flavor additive rather than a 1:1 sugar substitute; it isn’t as sweet as sugar, it just adds a touch of sweetness and flavor. Plus, it is relatively rich in polyphenols and carotenoids, two groups of antioxidants known for their anti-inflammatory, cancer-fighting, and heart-health-promoting properties. It’s also rich in fiber, vitamin C, and xanthophylls, a group of carotenoids responsible for the yellow color that is thought to promote eye health and good vision. This powder is easy to add to baked goods, oatmeal, yogurt, and even savory foods for a hint of sweetness to add just the right balance of sweet to salty. It’s great for drinks like coffee, protein shakes, and smoothies. Try a healthier alternative for your sweet tooth with this organic lucuma powder. M-R104
