Lucuma is a sweetener. Similar to maple syrup. What are you making? Then I could maybe tell you what you can sub for it.
I get my Lucuma powder at www.naturalzing.com - a family-owned, small business. It's really good stuff!

Thanks for asking this. I have been wondering what it is too.

Is it always a powder form? Is it always raw?

I'm trying to make a strawberry pie and it calls for the powder but i have some maple syrup so i'll use that instead.
Thanks also for the info, i will have to order some for the future:D

Welcome. Nope, it's not always powder. I have some "chips" too. I would bet it's not raw unless you buy from a trusted source.
