Alkaline Super Foods: Lucuma

What Is Lucuma?

Lucuma is a sweet, golden-fleshed fruit native to Peru, often called the “Gold of the Incas.” When dried and ground into powder, it becomes a naturally sweet, nutrient-rich superfood that blends well into smoothies, desserts, and health foods. Though it tastes like a mix of maple and sweet potato, lucuma is low-glycemic and alkaline-forming, making it a popular ingredient in alkaline diets.

Lucuma powder is rich in beta-carotene, iron, zinc, calcium, and B vitamins, offering a nourishing alternative to refined sugar without spiking blood sugar levels.
