paw paw

I tried a new fruit yesterday!  Bronwyn has been talking about the paw paw for a week or so. Apparently it's all the rage in her lab.  Paw paws are native to North America but they don't seem to travel well, which may explain why they are not well known and readily available in markets.  If you are able to find some, I highly recommend trying it. It has more protein than most fruits and it's a nice change from the usual mix. The pulp can be scooped out with a spoon and has a custard-like texture.  I found the taste to be sweet and tangy, like a kiwi-flavored creamy pudding, but healthier.
