Finally finished #Pawpaw: In search of America's forgotten fruit. Love the connections of this North American native fruit to places and people - connections to #ethnobotany, #botany, and YUM. We got the first #Indianabanana on my farm this year! #Asiminatrioloba #smallfarmlife
Book cover of Pawpaw: In search of America's forgotten fruit by Andrew Moore. Pawpaws are known by various names in different states, but I like Indiana banana the best. They are a native fruit to North America. Fist sized fruit have green skin and creamy-to-yellow pulp. Sweet tasting, sticky, and tropical in flavor. A cluster of pawpaws on one of my trees. Three ripe pawpaws balanced precariously in one hand - together these fruit dwarf my big dude hands. Ripe pawpaw cut in half to reveal the creamy-yellow, sweet, custard-like pulp. They were ripe in August, and I can't wait for the harvest next year.
