Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Lucúma fruits are consumed when overripe, when the skin bursts open revealing yellow, fibrous flesh. The fruit is starchy and its taste has been compared to maple, sweet potato, butterscotch, and caramel. Scientific papers have shown the fruit to have antiinflammatory, antioxidant, and antihyperglycemic properties. In traditional medicine the fruit is believed to be an anticancer, an immunostimulant, antiinflammatory, and to lower blood pressure.
