Lucuma is a sweet fruit native to Peru. To some, it tastes likes a mango crossed with an apricot, while others find a dense sweetness similar to maple syrup. It is so popular and renowned in the Peruvian culture that it is known as “gold of the Incas.” As its color might suggest, it is full of beta-carotene, which boosts the immune system and supports vision health. The sugars found in lucuma do not spike blood sugar and are a great natural sweeter. Lucuma is a great resource for vegetarians as it is rich in iron and niacin, which helps digestion and muscle development.
