Tasted my first Paw Paw last weekend, ripe and cold. To think I have gone a whole lifetime without it...
My sample was grown in Orange County, NC, about 2.25" X 3.5"..my first reaction was "I can't believe this flavor and texture"; it is like eating a fine gourmet custard. I hear that its nutritional quality and mineral and vitamin content are off the charts.

This is 1) better than banana, mango or papaya 2) nearly as good as Creme Caramel (Flan, has that aftertaste)

Absolutely delicious fruit. I rank it equal to the most flavorful varieties of strawberry, apricot, plum, sour cherry, certain apple varieties, blackberry, peach and blueberry.

I highly recommend planting this world class fruit.

I wonder how it would be with maple syrup....
