Lucuma, also known as lujma, is a fruit native to South America, recognized for its characteristic sweet flavor. Its pulp, once dehydrated, is transformed into lucuma powder or flour, a product widely used as a natural flavoring in foods and beverages. In addition to its culinary value, lucuma offers important health benefits. It has anti-inflammatory and healing properties and is especially recommended in cases of depression due to its high content of niacin (vitamin B3), a nutrient that promotes protein metabolism and contributes to energy production. It also helps reduce blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, making it an ally for cardiovascular health. It is a naturally gluten-free food with a high fiber content, making it ideal for promoting good digestion.
