Pawpaw (Aylmer, ON) - 1Lb. *Ontario Native* Limited Quantity
Pawpaw fruits are the largest edible fruits native to North America and have been present as a wild species in humid, temperate zones for thousands of years. Despite their established and ancient presence in North America as a food source for both animals and humans
*Ripe Pawpaw fruits easily bruise, tear, and deteriorate in quality once picked. *
Pawpaw is a source of vitamin C to strengthen the immune system while reducing inflammation, copper to produce red blood cells, and iron to develop the protein hemoglobin for oxygen transport through the bloodstream. The fruits also provide manganese to assist in metabolizing amino acids, vitamin A to maintain healthy organ functioning, fiber to regulate the digestive tract, magnesium to regulate optimal nerve functioning, and other nutrients, including phosphorus, calcium, and zinc.
Pawpaw fruits have a fruity, tropical, and musky flavor suited for fresh and cooked preparations. Ripe Pawpaw fruits have a delicate, soft nature and can be torn open by hand to consume the soft, gooey flesh. The skin and seeds are discarded during consumption, and the flesh is enjoyed on its own or strained through a sieve to create a smooth puree. The flesh can also be incorporated into salsa as a creamy addition. Pawpaw puree can be blended into smoothies, shakes, and other drinks, or it can be frozen into ice cream or sorbet. The flesh can also be baked into bread, cakes, and pies, simmered into preserves, or added to custards and puddings.
Pawpaw flesh can also be made into a puree and frozen for extended use. When making a puree, mix in a little lemon juice to prevent the puree from oxidizing and squeeze out all the air before freezing.
