Lucuma & Fiber

I'm just wondering, does anyone have any kind of official nutrition information for a fruit called Lucuma, specifically the fiber content. I've seen a couple non official pages that list it as having 10g of fiber per 100g (about one fruit) which is great, but I've also seen one other page that listed it something like 2g. It is obviously just a curiosity for me, but maybe someone has seen this in some more official nutrition db?

On another note, it has a very unique taste and you can probably only get the powder in the USA. The fruit mixed with yogurt or milk is awesome. My question above is with regards to the actual fruit not the powder.

Thanks in advance.

    has the following info, followed by a nutritional chart. It is kind of confusing to read though.

    Low in acid, this fruit is an excellent source of carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins (especially beta-carotene or provitamin A, niacin or vitamin B3, and ascorbic acid or vitamin C) and also a good source of minerals (such as calcium, including remarkable concentrations of iron).
