What are Pawpaws?
Pawpaws (Asimina triloba) are the largest and most tropical fruit native to the Eastern United States. They grow as far South as Florida, as north as Michigan, and range from the Atlantic Ocean to Nebraska. While widely unknown today, Pawpaws have a rich cultural and ecological history in the region and their flavor has been prized for millennia.
What do Pawpaws Taste Like?
The flavor of pawpaws can range widely based on their region and growing conditions, but theyâre usually described as a mix between a banana and a mango, with notes of lemon or creme brulĂ©e. No matter what, theyâre always distinctly tropical and sweet.
