Lukchup is a traditional Thai dessert that has its origins in a Portuguese recipe, where almonds were used. In Thailand, mung beans replaced the almonds due to their unavailability. This delicacy was once only available to royalty and those in the palace, dating back to the Ayutthaya Era, 14th Century. But now, Lukchup can be found in many Thai dessert shops and markets.
Like most Thai desserts, it requires skill and love to make. It’s a slow process in making them as each step in making Lukchup defines each character. Producing the product requires a delicate process of shaping the mung bean paste, adding food colouring, and coating the mixture with agar agar jelly 3-5 times. For these reasons, every piece is unique and meaningful.
Each box contains 4 or 12 selection of 12 Lukchup mini fruits, packed in our gift box.
Suitable for vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free diets.
