Have you ever heard of a paw paw? If not, do not feel bad. Most Americans do not know of the fruit, although it is native to the United States. Once, however, it was one of the most popular fruits in North America. Happily, those who love the paw paw are trying to return it to its former position in American foods. A paw paw is a tropical-like fruit that grows on trees found all over the eastern United States. It’s also the largest edible fruit native to the US. It is similar to a typical mango in size. It has a dull green-colored skin, and a soft, almost-creamy orange inside. Most people agree that the pawpaw tastes like a combination of a banana, an apricot and a mango. Most people are very surprised by its sweet taste.
