A CLOSER LOOK
Lucuma powder comes from a fruit that is native to regions of South America. It has the consistency of a
hard-boiled egg yolk and a uniquely sweet taste. High in nutrients such as iron, zinc, and vitamin B3,
lucuma powder makes a wonderful addition to beauty products. If you find yourself with extra lucuma
powder, you can use it as a tasty substitute for sugar or artificial sweeteners.
