Lucuma is a delicately flavoured tropical fruit native to the coastal valleys in Peru. Lucuma fruits are naturally sweet, yet low on the glycemic index & contain many nutrients – this means one of the benefits of Organic Lucuma Powder is that it can be used as a healthy and natural sweetener in drinks and desserts. Add to baking recipes, smoothies & cereals for a unique sweet, caramel, buttery flavour.
Lucuma is a great source of iron which contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. It’s high in potassium which contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system, and is a good source of zinc which contributes to normal cognitive function. Lucuma is also high in fibre to support digestion and includes beta-carotene, vitamin B3, calcium, protein, magnesium and antioxidants.
100% Lucuma Powder
All dried food orders are packed in home compostable brown paper bags.
Food labels can be recycled.
Some food items contain natural oils which may be absorbed by the brown paper bags. These food items will be double bagged to prevent natural oils seeping through onto other items, however, this may still occur.
We recommend putting your dried food items in airtight or semi airtight containers to retain freshness.
Please know that we do everything we can to avoid cross contamination. However, due to the nature of selling unpacked goods, we cannot guarantee everything nut free or gluten free.
To begin with, you'll weigh each empty container, whether it's a jar or a drawstring bag. Our free paper bags are the only containers you don't need to weigh first.
The scales will show you what to do on the screen, (or grab one of us to help you!). A barcode sticker will print out, and you'll place this on the bottom of your empty container. The barcode subtracts the weight of your container when you come to weigh it again once it's been filled.
This is the fun bit – now you're ready to refill! For optimum hygiene, our dispensers are designed to release food without the need to touch it. All you need to do is pull the lever down. You'll be able to control the amount you want easily; there's no minimum so you can take small amounts if you're following a recipe, for example. And don't worry about spillages; we sweep up fallen food and save it for the birds.
Next, you'll go back to the scales to weigh your filled containers. The screen will ask you to scan the barcode first to deduct the weight of your container.
A new label will print out with the product and price details. Our labels are sticky enough to stay on jars, yet easy to remove when you get home.
Take your labelled containers to the till to make payment. And that's it, you've stocked up on food, and you've saved more plastic from reaching our oceans!
While we operate a self-service store, we are always happy to help you find and weigh your goods. And if there's something else you'd love to see at The Refill Room, we have a clipboard at the checkout for you to let us know!
