Description
When mature fruit falls from the lucuma tree it isn�t ripe, and the pulp too hard to eat
The fruit must be stored under hay to break down the bitter, white latex and softens
However even when fully ripe the flesh remains relatively firm
Ripe fruit is then thoroughly washed and cut into small segments, which are fully dehydrated at � 45�C
It�s then carefully milled into a fine powder, which can be stored for two years, retaining its nutty, caramel flavour
Our lucuma powder is rigorously tested for microbial activity, guaranteeing a natural product of exceptional purity
