The lucuma (or pouteria lucuma) grows best at altitudes above 1,000 up to 2400 meters in the coastal Andean valleys of Peru, Chile and Ecuador. Due to its high nutritional value, it was once referred as the Gold of the Incas and it has been an important crop since ancestral times. This is proven by the many ceramic remains from the Moche and later Inca cultures.
This starchy fruit is high in iron, niacin or vitamin B3, carotenoids, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus. Lucuma powder can be easily added to smoothies or used in desserts such as puddings, creams, cakes, cookie, etc.
Dried Organic Lucuma Powder
The bulk of the Lucuma production is found in dehydrated form with only a small percentage reaching the local markets to be consumed fresh. Once dehydrated, the lucuma powder (or flour) is mainly sold as flavoring for ice creams and nutritional supplement.

Passion Fruit Is Highly Nutritious Passion fruit is a good source of nutrients, especially fiber, vitamin C and vitamin A. A single purple passion fruit of about 18 grams contains (1): Calories: 17 Fiber: 2 grams Vitamin C: 9% of the RDI Vitamin A: 8% of the RDI Iron: 2% of the RDI Potassium: 2% of the RDI This may not seem like much, but these are the values for a single, small fruit that contains only 17 calories. Calorie for calorie, it's a good source of fiber, vitamin C and vitamin A. It's also rich in beneficial plant compounds, including carotenoids and polyphenols. In fact, one analysis found that passion fruit was richer in polyphenols than many other tropical fruits, including banana, lychee, mango, papaya and pineapple (2). Additionally, passion fruit contains a small amount of iron. Your body doesn't usually absorb iron from plants very well. However, the iron in passion fruit comes with a lot of vitamin C, which is known to enhance iron's absorption
