The Incas of Peru used Lucuma often, so much so that it became known as the “Gold of the Incas.” Looking a bit like an avocado, Lucuma has a mellow sweetness that has been described as “a cross between caramel and a sweet potato.” Its texture is smooth and almost creamy, and it sits low on the glycemic index, making it a great addition for those who are watching their blood sugar.

In addition to having lots of beta carotene (good for skin, eyes, and in warding off age-related diseases), iron (a necessary nutrient), zinc (which boosts the immune system and fights acne), vitamin B3 (which helps treat high cholesterol and migraines), and calcium (essential for bone growth and health), Lucuma also has proven skin-regeneration properties. According to a study done by Rutgers, this super fruit was shown to help in wound healing and tissue regeneration.
