Pouteria lucuma
An ancient Andean fruit revered by Inca civilization; naturally sweet with low glycemic index, rich in carotenoids, iron, and niacin; used as a natural sweetener and nutritive food.
Lucuma fruit (Pouteria lucuma) is a nutrient-dense, low-glycemic sweetener traditionally used by the Inca civilization. It provides beta-carotene, niacin, iron, and polyphenols, supporting its roles as a nutritive food, blood sugar stabilizer, and skin-healing agent. Modern research suggests antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and prebiotic activities, though clinical evidence remains limited (Level C).
Lucuma's low glycemic index is attributed to its high fiber and polyphenol content, which may inhibit α-glucosidase and slow carbohydrate absorption. Beta-carotene acts as a provitamin A antioxidant, while niacin supports NAD+ metabolism and cellular repair. Polyphenols, including chlorogenic acid, modulate NF-κB and Nrf2 pathways, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Iron content contributes to erythropoiesis and wound healing via collagen synthesis.
