Terrasoul Superfoods Organic Lucuma Powder, 16 Oz - Sugar Substitute

I love this! I’ve tasted Lucuma ice cream in Peru a long time ago. We do not get this fruit in the Chicago area, so I was excited to find this. I add it to my smoothies and I love that it adds sweetness without added sugars or other substitutes, many which are unhealthy. For example, I can use it in place of banana to sweeten my smoothies with a flavor other than the banana flavor, and for a variety in health benefits/nutrients. It has a pleasant taste without being overpowering. It mixes well, and I’m pleased with the quality of the product. I cannot compare it to the real fruit taste, as it’s been SO long, nor could I compare it with any other brand because I have not tried any other. I am happy with my purchase, worth what I paid for it, and I would be happy to buy it again.

This product is not your common sugar replacement. It has a distinctive taste and pleasant smell but it is a superior anti-oxidant beyond doubt. I suspect it is also Qi raising and cooling, judging from the effects. I add one tea spoon a day to my mushroom coffee, and 1 bag has 90 servings. My hayfever symptoms have significantly diminished since I began using this product. I don't know if that is attributed directly to this product, but I haven't changed anything else in my diet. I have tried various sugar substitutes that did not help me with any health benefits and feel blessed that I have found this product.

I didn’t find the product to have a natural sweetness to it, let alone have a butterscotch or maple syrup flavor. However, Terrasoul Superfoods received my feedback, and they provided a full refund for this. This was very generous of them, which is why I’m still leaving 4 stars.

This stuff is surprisingly good. It has a delicata caramel/butterscotch kind of flavor. It mixes in smoothies and youghurt very well. I am going to try Lucuma/Mango Ice Cream next. As a chef, I've seen a lot of disappointed reviews but those are people trying to use this as sugar/sweetner substitute. It is clearly not that. It is certainly not sweet enough on its own. It has a sweetness but is not "sugar sweet. You'll be a lot happier if you use this as a food, supplement or flavoring additive. This should go very well, with peach, mango, oranges, sweet potatos/yams, pinapples and bananas. You can also add this to baked pound and loaf cakes. Packaging is also good - seals up tight but keep the powder out of the sealing strip. It is very fine and can cause trouble on the strip. I am definitely keeping this stuff around

This stuff was horrible. It didn't mix into hot coffee - coagulated at the top, and when I finally was able to get it somewhat mixed in, the taste was chalky and not sweet at all. Disgusting consistency, like finely ground sawdust. I had to throw out the coffee and the rest of the powder.

In Peru some call it Gold of the Incas. I don’t consider this a sweetener, you can replace sweeteners with it but it’s a good tasty companion to sweeteners. I put this in my whipped coffee, I mix it with instant coffee, stevia, monk fruit, fat free Greek yogurt, Erythritol, instant coffee and cinnamon. I whip it together for a couple of minutes before I add hot water and almond vanilla milk. That Liz tastes amazing. I also mix it with plain yogurt or vanilla ice cream to make delicious lucuma flavored desserts. That’s not all, this stuff is so nutritious and considered a super food with lots of antioxidants. It also contains as much calcium as a glass of milk per serving, calcium as a glass of cow’s milk, beta-carotene an anti-carcinogen, vitamin C, zinc to help your immune system, iron, Niacin (vitamin B3) that helps reduce bad cholesterol and fiber for your gut. It has a unique taste, it is the most popular ice cream flavor in Peru. I like this manufacturer I buy a lot of their products, and no I don’t get paid by them or get a commission, I just enjoy their products and want to thank them for bringing this Peruvian wonder to us.

I've had lucuma shakes before and I love them. This one doesn't taste the way I imagined it would.

Lucuma otherwise referred to as Egg Fruit is amazing and so different that what you usually taste here in America. Give it a try :) your health will love you. You will also see that this company makes a great quality product.
