Nature’s Secret to Radiant Skin and Inner Wellness
In the ever-evolving world of beauty and wellness, there's a growing shift toward natural, safe, and sustainable ingredients. Among the rising stars of this green beauty revolution is Lekima—also known as the eggfruit—a vibrant, golden fruit packed with surprising health benefits and skincare potential.
What is Lekima?
Lekima, or eggfruit, belongs to the Sapotaceae family and originates from the Andes Mountains in South America. Its name comes from its rich, yellow flesh, which resembles the texture and taste of a cooked egg yolk. Interestingly, this fruit is naturally pest-resistant and requires little to no pesticide use, making it an excellent clean-label ingredient.
This tropical tree flourishes in warm, humid climates—especially in southern Vietnam, where its productivity is highest. It’s a small-to-medium-sized evergreen with thick, lance-shaped leaves and fragrant, yellow-green flowers that bloom year-round. The fruits are oval or egg-shaped, with smooth, nutrient-rich flesh and glossy, dark brown seeds.
The Nutritional Powerhouse Inside Every Bite
According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Dinh Toan, Director of the Clinical Nutrition Institute, Lekima is a nutrient-dense superfruit, loaded with:
Vitamin B3 (Niacin) – Supports brain health and combats depression
Beta-carotene – A potent antioxidant promoting eye health and glowing skin
Iron & Protein – Increases red blood cell production and boosts energy
Dietary Fiber – Regulates digestion and blood sugar levels
Vitamin C & A, Calcium – Strengthens immunity and enhances skin vitality
These nutrients not only support overall health—they’re also fantastic for your skin. If you're passionate about plant-based skincare, don't miss our roundup of the Top 5 Natural Ingredients for Glowing Skin, where Lekima shines alongside other superstars.

Scientific Insights & Functional Health Benefits
Heart Health & Cholesterol Reduction
Lekima's polyphenols and fiber help lower cholesterol, regulate triglycerides, and support heart function by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
Supports Blood Sugar Control
Despite its sweetness, Lekima contains complex carbs and soluble fiber that improve insulin sensitivity and prevent post-meal blood sugar spikes—making it a safe fruit for diabetics.
Boosts Eye Health
Thanks to a high concentration of xanthophylls (carotenoids that give the fruit its golden hue), Lekima supports long-term eye health and vision clarity.

With ample Vitamin C and anti-inflammatory compounds, Lekima boosts the immune system, making it a great dietary addition during seasonal changes or illness recovery.
