[[Larco_Museum|Larco Museum Collection.]] Lima, Peru]]<br /> The '''lúcuma''' (''Pouteria lucuma'') is a [[subtropical]] [[fruit]] of [[Andes|Andean]] origin (sometimes known as '''lucmo''' in English), native to the dry subtropical Andean coastal valleys of [[Peru]], [[Ecuador]], and introduced in [[Chile]] ([[Quillota]] and [[Petorca]]). It grows at temperate elevations, between 1,000-2,400 metres. The largest concentration of this fruit is found in the Peruvian regions of [[Cajamarca]], [[Ancash]], [[Lima]], and [[Ayacucho]]. It has also grown well for centuries in southern Ecuador and Chile's northern coast. The fruit is very nutritious, having high levels of [[carotene]] and [[vitamin B3]]. The lúcuma is exported all around the world. In some countries it is one of the most popular ice-cream flavors.<br /> <br /> Lúcuma is a popular flavoring for [[ice cream]] in its native range, and in Peru even exceeds the demand for more globally popular flavors such as [[strawberry]], [[chocolate]], and [[vanilla]]. {{Fact|date=February 2007}}<br /> <br /> Lucuma has been found on ceramics at burial sites of the indigenous people of coastal Peru &lt;ref&gt;[http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/lucmo.html]&lt;/ref&gt;. The [[Moche]] people had a fascination with agriculture and often chose to represent fruits and vegetables, including lucuma, in their art. &lt;ref&gt;Berrin, Katherine &amp; Larco Museum.
