You’ve probably never heard of this! Native American Superfood 👍
What happens here
The host describes the pawpaw's flavor as sweet, with notes of cantaloupe (attributed to beta-carotene) and a texture similar to a mushy, ripe banana. He notes that if the fruit tastes bitter, it is not ripe. He also shares a warning about their short shelf life: a freshly picked pawpaw only lasts about one day at room temperature, and maybe two days in the refrigerator. Unlike other fruits, green pawpaws picked from the tree will not ripen properly. The host shares the pawpaw with his video editor, who confirms the unique banana-avocado-like flavor.
Goal: Understand the unique flavor profile of pawpaws and learn about their limited storage capabilities.
