What it is

Lucuma powder is made from the dried fruit of the lucuma tree, native to South America. The fruit is typically harvested, dried, and then ground into a fine powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use lucuma powder as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer, often described as having a caramel or maple-like taste. It is commonly found in ice cream, yogurt, baked goods, smoothies, and powdered drink mixes.

Health notes

In the U.S., lucuma powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates and some vitamins and minerals. Research is ongoing into its potential antioxidant properties, but more studies are needed to confirm health benefits at typical consumption levels. No specific regulatory limits have been set by international bodies like JECFA or EFSA.

Allergen info

Lucuma is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
