The reason why it is uncommon i guess is because it is not very delicious. The pulp texture is dry, sandy, and sweet. One more reason, it is easy to get damage during transportation. That's why manufacturer often make powder product from it

In Vietnam, lucuma is not super popular though. But many farmers grow it as ornamental tree in garden and sell the extra fruit to wet market, so fresh lucuma can be bought easily. By belong to Sapotaceae family, lucuma can yield many fruits per harvest

Here is a picture of lucuma flower. You can see there're many. My mom love this fruit. It smell so good when ripe and only edible at that time. But it will spoil very fast so you must eat it soon
