Navitas Naturals lucuma powder is most famous for its sweet maple-like flavor profile, its impressively low sugar content and naturally occurring vitamins and minerals--it makes the perfect compromise between the sweet tooth and the waistline. Lucuma is native to the highlands of Peru, Chile, and Ecuador where it has been cultivated since ancient times. Today, lucuma is one of the region’s most enjoyed foods, and is a popular ice cream flavor among Europeans and South Americans. This product has only one ingredient--whole lucuma fruit--and is raw, kosher, gluten-free, vegan, and 100% organic. This is sold in a pack of two 8-ounce pouches.
