Organic Lucuma Powder

Product description

Biova Organic Lucuma is a finely milled fruit powder made from sun-ripened lucuma fruits from Peru, with a mild, caramel-like sweetness. The golden-yellow powder is ideal for naturally sweetening drinks, desserts and creative plant-based dishes.

Gentle drying and processing to certified organic standards help preserve the characteristic aroma of this Andean fruit. The fine, easily soluble texture of Biova Lucuma Powder makes it simple to dose as a natural alternative to conventional sweeteners.

Stir the powder directly into smoothies, porridge, yoghurt or baking mixes to add a subtle sweetness and aroma. Organic lucuma combines well with other natural sweeteners and brings its exotic fruit note effortlessly into everyday cooking.

Origin

The lucuma fruits come from Peru, where they have been cultivated in the Andean regions for centuries. The subtropical climate with intense sunshine and cool nights supports slow ripening and a well-balanced flavour.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

Lucuma trees are grown according to organic farming standards and the fruits are hand-picked at full ripeness. They are then gently dried and ground into a fine powder so that colour, flavour and typical characteristics are retained.

Characteristics

Lucuma powder is characterised by its mild, natural sweetness and caramel-vanilla-like aroma. Unlike refined sugar, it contains the fruit’s own components, while the fine grind makes it particularly easy to mix into liquids, batters and creams.

Differences in origin and processing

Peruvian lucuma is considered the classic origin, as the plant is native there and finds optimal growing conditions. Local expertise in cultivation, drying and milling results in a harmonious flavour profile, an even powder texture and consistently reliable Biova quality.

Taste & aroma

The powder has a mildly sweet, slightly malty flavour with notes of caramel and vanilla. Its aroma is reminiscent of maple syrup and sweet dried fruit, which makes Organic Lucuma particularly suitable for desserts, drinks and delicate baked goods.
