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 product is AWFUL! It takes 1/2 cup to equal 1 tablespoon of sugar. Also this product does NOT dissolve even in boiling water. A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!!

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 bought this lucuma product for the third time, the same brand before, but this time the flavor was weak. i made lucuma ice cream using the same amount of ice cream and lucuma and, did not have the strong lucuma flavor as before. I'm hoping the manufactory is not cutting corners, seem like they process with the fruit green and was not ripe, I'm hopping that scenario .

This product does not taste sweet to me. It has a vaguely vegetable flavor. It frankly detracts from my morning coffee. Also, it does not dissolve readily in the hot coffee. Maybe it would be better as an additive in a smoothie. But monkfruit extract is far superior as a sugar substitute.UPDATE: after my review was posted, Seller offered me an unconditional full refund and I want to acknowledge the extent of their commitment to their product. I chose not to accept the offer as the product is not defective, just not to my liking as a coffee additive, and I am using it up by adding a pinch to my granola every day.
