The Paw Paw is a fruit native to North America, known for its custard-like texture and sweet flavor. It grows on small trees or shrubs, typically found in wooded areas. The fruit is greenish-yellow when ripe and can be about the size of a mango. Inside, it contains several large seeds surrounded by soft, creamy flesh. Paw Paws are rich in vitamins, particularly vitamin C and vitamin A, and are also a good source of dietary fiber. They are often used in desserts, smoothies, and jams. The fruit has a short shelf life and is best enjoyed fresh.
