The elusive pawpaw fruit, enjoyed in Ehime

About Pawpaw (Creamy North American fruit)

Pawpaw is a fruit native to North America and a member of the custard apple family. Because its appearance resembles akebia and its flesh and seeds resemble persimmon, it is also known as “akebi-gaki” (akebia persimmon).

Its thin skin makes it difficult to transport, so it rarely appears in markets. In some cases, it can only be found at seaside farm stands, earning it a reputation as an elusive fruit.

Its rich flavor is reminiscent of a blend of banana and mango. One delicious way to enjoy it is to scoop out the flesh with a spoon. It is also recommended for smoothies, ice cream, and pudding.
