Paw Paw Fruit
Well I thought I'll try out the paw paw fruit when walking around woolies today, it looked interesting.
It tasted yuck ......I was reading on the internet it should taste like Vanilla custard but it didnt at all.
Maybe it was bad or something, anyone else have views on this ???

Re: Paw Paw Fruit
Paw paw taste great if you squeeze fresh lime juice over them...it really enhances the flavour. I'm not a fan of them on their own but with lime they are wonderful

Re: Paw Paw Fruit
My favourite fruit.
They are tropical and don't keep well, so Australian supermarkets shipping to places like Perth seem to have ones that are picked too early. Shop around. Visit the markets, cos when they are good they are fantastic!
Oh .. the best are probably exported!

Re: Paw Paw Fruit
Only the red Papaya (Paw Paw) is to be eaten fresh - with a sour lemon or lime - the yellow is only useful for pickles and cooking when "green".

Re: Paw Paw Fruit
Paw Paw is also great with grapefruit. Cut up the paw paw into chunks and segment a nice juicy ruby grapefruit, pop in the fridge to chill it and eat....YUMMY!!!

Re: Paw Paw Fruit
Love them. Also know as Papaya. They do taste better with lime squeezed on them.
Got a taste for them in Sri Lanka.
