Lucuma Powder Organic – 16oz (454g) – Vegan & USDA Certified – Delicious & Fiber Packed – Tasty Addition to Smoothies, Desserts, Ice Cream & More – Not a Sugar Substitute

My husband was craving lucuma ice cream, which he had on his church mission 15 years ago. I couldn’t find it anywhere, but I did find this powder so I gave it a whirl. I added it into my vanilla ice cream recipe and it turned out so well! No graininess and blended in beautifully. He said it tasted just like he remembered! It has a beautiful earthy caramel flavor. So yummy!

First of all: anyone who is trying to use this simply as a "healthier" sugar substitute is incredibly dense and misinformed. Lucuma is a fruit, and this is it in powdered form. It has carbs and a taste just like any other fruit. You shouldn't put this in your coffee as a sugar substitute just like you wouldn't put powdered peaches in your coffee. I mostly use this to flavor my yogurt, giving it that great lucuma taste I miss from Peru. It's also great for smoothies and ice cream!

This lucuma powder is amazing! I made ice-cream and a smoothie. Absolutely great flavor.

THIS PRODUCT IS VERY GOOD, GREAT FLAVOR

I like it although needs a little more Lucuma flavor

First: 22 grams of carbs in 2 tablespoons, which is about the same sweetness as two teaspoons of sugar (about 8 grams of carbohydrate). Lucuma powder is not very sweet. But it is loaded with carbs! In the product description, there is no mention of carbs. But it is on the package label. So, you have to use a lot of it. Second… very high carbs Third… it does not dissolve well For these three reasons, I’d return it if that was an option. Your experience may vary. Taste… not terrible. For my morning chai, I’ll stick to Monkfruit. Better all around.

Super tasty, great consistency, really great all around use it for smoothies, or ice cream, really great product will buy again when it runs out 10/10

Bought it for a more nutritious natural sweetener in my coffee. Here’s what I think: Not very sweet so I added 2 heaping Tb to my equivalent 1 tsp of honey. The bottom of the cup was an unappetizing sludge but it was sweet if chalky. The flavor was mildly fruity and complex, possibly tasting of fructose or sorbitol. But not sucrose. Definitely no aftertaste like you get with stevia or other alternate sweeteners. I would be interested to know which kinds of saccharides are found in this fruit. (Sucrose/table sugar, glucose, fructose and others are saccharides. Sorbitol, manitol, etc. are saccharides and sugar-alcohols) Bottom line: while in theory I like the idea of fiber, not in my coffee. Maybe it will be good in banana bread or smoothies.
