ORIGIN OF LUCUMA
Lucuma (Pouteria lucuma) is a fruit native to the inter-Andean valleys of Peru, Ecuador and northern Chile. Chroniclers and historians report its abundance in Peru, having found images molded in huacos of the Mochica culture. These testimonies corroborate an ancestral use as part of the diet of populations that settled in localities on the coast and mountains of the country.
The fruit is a globose berry, flattened or somewhat elongated, green or yellowish. It measures between 7 and 14 cm in diameter.
The departments with the highest production of lucuma in Peru are Lima, Ayacucho, La Libertad, Cajamarca and Huancavelica.
Archaeological research places its domestication in the inter-Andean valleys of the pre-Inca peoples, where the consumption of its fruit and the use of its wood are extensively documented in the pictorial representations of the native Amerindians. The oldest of these date back to the 8th millennium BC. C. in the region called Callejón de Huaylas in Ancash. The Moche culture represents its art to the lucuma, as part of its fascination with agricultural products. Its wood was used for the construction of the Pachacámac sanctuary where in 1938 a trunk of singular dimensions carved as a totemic figure was found.
