About this product


A cold morning, a bowl of oats, and a spoonful of something golden that tastes of maple sugar and sweet potato. Lucuma is that quiet sweetness: dense, warm-ochre and almost without tartness, with a hint of dried apricot.

The lucuma tree grows in the dry, high valleys of the Peruvian Andes, and its fruit appears carved into Moche pottery centuries before European contact. Old custom calls it the gold of the Incas, and Andean households have long kept it dried for use through the year. Fresh, the fruit is too starchy and dry to enjoy off the tree; its sweetness only concentrates once it is dried and milled. Ours comes from a single valley cooperative east of Lima, sun-ripened before harvest and dried at a low, steady heat that keeps its caramel notes from scorching.

Details

  • Ingredient: Dried, milled lucuma fruit
  • Origin: A single valley cooperative east of Lima, Peru
  • Flavor: Maple sugar, sweet potato, dried apricot

How to use

Use it as you would a mild, dry sweetener: stir it into oat bowls, whisk it into cacao, or fold it into batter in place of part of the sugar. It holds so little moisture that it disappears without changing the texture. A tablespoon a day is a reasonable habit, not a strict dose.

Quietly sweet, the way good things often are.
