Organic Lucuma

More than a fruit, organic lucuma is the Peruvian national dessert! Coming from the Andean regions and the Pacific coast, its natural taste of maple syrup and sweet potato has conquered more than one palate. Beyond these significant taste aspects, lucuma has remarkable nutritional properties, and can even replace sugar! It is therefore a real nutritional ally, especially if you are looking to reduce or replace sugar in your diet, to improve your health, lose weight or prevent certain diseases. Its nutritional value is very high. It is a good source of carbohydrates. It contains group B vitamins, beta-carotenes, mineral salts (iron, calcium) and dietary fibre. Despite a pronounced sweet taste, its glycemic index remains low, which makes it an even more interesting food! The components of organic lucuma would help regulate and lower blood sugar, and provide significant digestive comfort. Lucuma is an excellent source of antioxidants, which protect us by fighting against the damage of free radicals, these molecules which deteriorate our cells and accelerate aging. Thanks to the polyphenols it contains, lucuma would protect the heart from heart disease, in particular by lowering blood pressure. Certified organic by Ecocert (FR-BIO-01)
