The Pawpaw Fruit

The pawpaw is the largest edible fruit that is native to the U.S.  The unique flavor of the fruit resembles a blend of various tropical flavors, including banana, pineapple, and mango. The flavor and custard-like texture  make the pawpaw a good substitute for bananas in almost any recipe. A few common names are “poor man's banana”, “American custard apple”, and “Kentucky banana”.  The pawpaw has more than double vitamin C, riboflavin and niacin as apple, banana and orange.
