*Lucuma powder is high in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fibre and carbohydrates, benefitting the immune system. It can help satisfy a sweet tooth, tasting like a cross between caramel or maple. A study found Lucuma may have anti-flammatory, anti-ageing and skin-repair effects on human skin. It provides a natural sweet taste without increasing your blood sugar levels. It may be used for diabetics and people with other health issues.
