What happens here

The host emphasizes that the skin of a pawpaw should not be eaten, as it can be mildly irritating. He demonstrates how to easily pinch and peel back the skin of a ripe, black-skinned pawpaw to reveal the soft, orange-colored fruit inside. He shows the fruit's texture and points out the large, dark seeds that are 'stacked up together' within the pulp, noting they are not edible. He encourages eating the fruit directly from the skin after peeling.

Goal: Learn the proper way to prepare and eat a ripe pawpaw, including how to peel it and identify its internal structure.
