Pawpaws
are a curious fruit, little known to most of us, even though this native fruit has a long history in North America. The pawpaw is indigenous to the temperate woodlands of the east and is the largest edible fruit that is native to the United States. They have provided delicious and nutritious food for Native Americans, European explorers, settlers and wild animals for centuries.
They are still being enjoyed in modern America, chiefly in rural areas.

The Pawpaw has a creamy, custard-like flesh with a tropical flavor, which is often described as a combination of mango, pineapple, and banana.
