So banana bread, and banana muffins and cake and things like that," Crabtree said. "Anything you can make with bananas, you can do with pawpaw. The fruit can be used to make a variety of foods but does particularly well in ice cream, smoothies, custards and jams. Pawpaws begin to blacken just three days after they're picked, so if you cannot eat them quick enough, freeze the pulp for later use. The texture of the pulp is creamy, avocado-like in texture. You can also use a potato peeler for the skin. Scoop out the fruit with a spoon and spit out the seeds. How do I eat them?Ĭut the fruit in half with a knife, avoid cutting the hard seeds inside, work around them. They make pawpaw chutney, salad dressing and jams. This is why Integrated Farms work to freeze and process pawpaw pulp. "They're not going to be in grocery stores anytime soon," Chmiel said. "Kentucky and Ohio are right in the middle of the native range." In the wild, pawpaws are found by rivers and in shade. Pawpaws are native to the Eastern United States, said Crabtree.
