"History and Origin Lucuma has been called the 'gold of the Incas'. Lucuma has been cultivated in the Peruvian highlands since 200 AD, when people discovered the caramel-sweet fruit. In Peru, 26 villages are named after this beloved fruit. The lucuma tree grows best at an altitude between 450 and 1000 metres. The tree can withstand drought well, but cannot withstand frost. High humidity is needed to produce the fruit. Lucuma trees only start producing fruit after 5 years and each tree produces up to 500 fruits per year. The fruits are yellow-brown in colour and can weigh up to one kilo each. Processing into Lucuma powder The lucuma tree bears fruit throughout the year, but the main harvest takes place in spring between January and April.

Productinformation Cashew nuts are harvested in India around the time of may and june. The “Kashu” tree derives from the same family of trees as mango- and pistachio-trees. They carry their first fruits approximately after three years - the tree’s maximum carrying capacity is reached after seven years.

Cashew nuts are eaten raw in asian regions, but in the rest of the world there are known as a deliciously roasted nut-snack.

Productinformation Coconuts have been a popular food- and raw material source for thousands of years. On account of their delicious taste and positive traits, coconuts are becoming increasingly popular even in our part of the world. Besides valuable protein, the coconut also provides brain sustenance in the form of fructose as well as palmitic- and oleic acid. The unique characteristics of lauric acid, the main fatty acid in coconuts, have been known for many years. Today, lauric acid is used to counteract viruses, bacteria and fungus, which makes coconut chips a real fitness snack. Origin The coconut palm tree originated in Melanesia, a group of islands in the pacific, north-east of Australia. It spread in part naturally and also through humans. Coconuts can drift a long way in the ocean and remain capable of germinating even after swimming in salty water for 100 days. Polynesian seafarers are responsible for its spread to South-East Asia. The coconut palm tree thrives in the wet and warm tropical belt. Its main growing areas include the Philippines, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, South India, Africa and the coasts and rivers of South America. The tree bears fruit the entire year around and produces - depending on age and location - 30 to 150 ripe coconuts per year. Palm climbers and trained monkeys harvest the coconuts. The coconut is of great value to local people.
